Emulator program only works with Admin Rights

[Julia]

Attachmate Extra only works with Admin Rights and not
under Limited User. Is there a way to give Admin Rights
for just one program under the Limited User account?

Julia,

You could set the program to run in an Adminsitrator
context using the following apporach:

Thanks Mike Bright!

I'll give it a go!

That works. However, Whenever I click on the shortcut it
asks me which account do I want to use to run this
program and the password. I would like to prevent the
user from having to login as an Administrator. I really
would like this step to be invisible to the user. Is
there a way to save the "run as" information? Thanks.

Julia,

You can use the /SAVECRED switch with the command line RUNAS, but this saves the credentials machine wide, not just for that one application.

You may want to investigate what files/folders and Registry entries the program is trying to write to and adjust the permissions for those items accordingly.
