    Administrator & program install


    Trying to install a new program on my W7 machine.
    When I left click on it I get the "...you need administrator...." message.
    When I right click & select "Run as administrator" I get the same message.
    So I used Switch Users & brought a copy of the install over to the Admin. desktop.
    Installed no problem.
    But, how can I now use this program without have to switch over to Administrator?

    Also, I thought I just posted almost the same post in General but I guess I was doing too many things at once and lost it - if this turns out to be a double post - SORRY!

    If you have full permissions. Type the name of the program in search (from the standard user account). Make a short cut, so it can be easily accessed. You should be able to use it.

    Helloo again.
    Yeah I can access it via search & put a shortcut on the desktop but when launched I get the attached error?
    This is the first time I have had any trouble installing anything on W7?

    Try this put name in search. When it appears, right click and run as adminsitrator. Does that help?

    Barefoot and I were typing at the same time. His solution cuts out one step. You may want to give that a try.
