I have a few programs that require this. #4 isn’t always needed.
Configure the shortcut to always run as administrator. Here’s how:
1. Right-click the shortcut icon, and click Properties.
2. Click the Compatibility tab.
3. Here, put a check mark by Run This Program as an
Administrator.
4. Next, put a check mark next to Run This Program in
Compatibility Mode For: and ensure Windows XP Pro Service Pack
2 is selected.
5. Click OK.
