"Run As" Does Not show on Right Click for Limited User

Why won't the "Run As" appear when I right click on a program's .exe file (America's Army online game) as a Limited User. The game is requiring only Computer Administrators of WinXP Home to have access as an anti-cheat measure.

However, I prefer not to to allow my children to logon as a Computer Administrator to play the game, but I will allow them brief access to the game with the "Run As" and knowledge of Administrator's password via their Limited User logon.

I was told that they could be able to access the game by using the "Run As" command on a right click of the ArmyOps.exe file, but "Run As" does not appear on the right click when they are logged on to their Limited User account....it does if I am the Computer Administrator, but I already have access to the game.

I have checked to make sure the Secondary Logon is enabled and it is. (My Computer - Manage - Services and Applications - Services -Secondary Logon). So, why doesn't it show?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
