Windows Vista insists that certain types of program are run in Administrator mode to help protect your computer. To save doing this manually every time you launch a particular program, you can configure it to always run in Administrator mode. Right-click a shortcut, either in the Start menu, the Windows Desktop or the Quick Launch bar, and select Properties. Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the Sh0l1cut tab, and tick the box labelled 'Run as administrator' before pressing OK.
