Is there a way to set specific programs to run with administrator credentials
in XP Home edition? My usb wireless adapter comes with its own s/w and wont
start/run unless the admin user logs in first (to get it to run). If a
limited user logs in first after a reboot, standby or hibernate it will not
run even though it's in their startup folder. I tried using "run as" but that
requires typing in the admin password each time. Is there a way to set the
"run as" permanently, so it runs transparently to the "limited user"? This
also would fix issues with other programs, such as my CD burner software that
seems to require admin rights to burn to disc. I don't want to make every
user an "administrator" account, I'd rather just give permission to run
specific things.
