Strange events ...Help!

[Marauder]

I developed a small program and generated a setup routine that works, but the only way I can get the program to work properly on Win7 is to right-click the shortcut and select "Run as administrator." If I just do the regular double-click, all kinds of crazy things happen, mainly the data I wish to edit is invariably read-only.
I strongly suspect it's some kind of permissions issue across my small home network, but setting all-access for "everyone" has no effect. Anyone have an idea about this?

I don't know code, but what I suspect is that the program is installed in the programs folder and since that folder is protected by Windows that may be why you're getting all kinds of issues. It's probably the nature of what your program is doing.

It's very difficult to say without any idea of what the program actually does, but a blind guess is that the program is trying to save data or its settings in its installation folder, which is a big no-no.
Depending on what the program does, it's also possible that it may legitimaly require admin rights to do its job, in which case the proper solution is to manifest it as such and add a check before acting.

What the program does, exactly? Where does it save any thing? Did any problem manifest while debugging?

It could just be UAC
