Programs suddently need to be "Run as Administrator"
Greetings Ye Forumites!
Forgive me for bringing forth yet another "Run as Administrator" question, of which my lurking as found many, but this particular issue I have not yet seen adressed.
I have read in other threads that the "Run as Administrator" function and the UAC are handy tools, put in place to prevent daring users who use their Administrator Accounts on a daily basis from falling pray to mallware 'n similar stuff.
That's fine and dandy. I've also read usefull guides on how to set programs to always run as administrator, or how to shut down UAC warnings.
But what I haven't read, is what happened to me: Programs I've instaled and been using for a good while now, and that always worked fine, now won't open at all, because I do not have the necessary authorization... while I'm using the Administrator account. Of course I can still right-click and "Run as Administrator", but I didn't have to before.
Now, I know I can make it so they always run, but I'd much rather have things go back to the way they were before. What's stopping me, you ask? Well I have no idea what changed. I didn't change anything in the accounts, I didn't made changes to the programs... I didn't change any security definitions (that I recall)... I'm at a loss here.
Anyone knows what might be going on?
Cheers!
