Because of varying environments, I've just gotten in the habit of holding Shift, right clicking on the .exe, and selecting run as Administrator. The Shift may not be necessary, but it also give the run-as option - helpful when you're not logged in as an admin.WGU - BS, IT Security (starting Feb 1st, 2012)
