How to Change an Icon to Run As an Administrator in Vista
By default, most applications in Windows Vista do not run with Administrator privileges enabled. This is a feature used to help protect the computer, but if there is an application that you frequently open and have to select the "Run as Administrator" button each time, it can become tiresome. With a quick tweak using the application's icon, though, you'll be able to make any application on your computer automatically run with Administrator privileges enabled.
