I'm trying to install a new program and share it with an other user who has limited access. The program installs fine but the other user can't access it. When he tries opening the program it tells him he has to have local administrator rights. Is there a way around this? Why can we share some programs and not this one?
 
I should add that the progam is System Mechanic. mmmmmmm I think I just answered my own question

Hi 215,

I'm trying to install a new program and share it with an other user who has limited access. The program installs fine but the other user can't access it. When he tries opening the program it tells him he has to have local administrator rights. Is there a way around this? Why can we share some programs and not this one?

Try using the command runas
Under the other account, right-click the desktop, create a shortcut,
and in the target type:

%windir%\System32\runas.exe /profile /savecred /user:Administrator
d:\path\to_the_program.exe

Where Administrator is the name of the account with administrative
privileges and d:\path\to_the_program.exe is the path to the program
you want to launch.

This will launch a screen which will ask the password of the
administrative account, will save it and encrypt it, so the following
times it is used you won't have to put the password again.

This will allow the other user to use the program, even though he/she
does not have administrative privileges.

Good luck, hope this helps
