uac shield missing next to run as administrator
I am unable to run any program in my accessories folder as run as administrator located on my desktop from the Start menu-Accessories. However if i go through windows explorer on my hard drive i am able to run as administrator any program in the accessories folder and the UAC shield is present. Why am I unable to run as administrator from the accessories folder in the start menu from my desktop. I noticed the UAC shield is missing next to run as administrator when I right click a program for options. This is only in the start menu-accessories folder from my desktop. When I right click a program in the accessories folder and select run as administrator I get this message. This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action Please install a program or if one already installed create an association in the default programs control panel. This does not happen from the hard drive.I tried and copied a shortcut example the command prompt which has the uac shield next to run as administrator option. When I move it to the accessories folder that is in the start menu on task bar I noticed that when i right click the uac shield disappears and unable to run as administrator. Not sure why it is happening from my start menu on my desktop. Other programs in the start menu have the UAC shield next to run as administrator when I right click the program.
Does anyone know why the UAC shield is missing next to run as administrator on programs in the accessories folder (only from the start Menu) and not on the accessories folder on the hard drive and how do I fix this. Apologies for the long post.
