Something that you may or may not know already ...



I always create a desktop shortcut of such applications and check the 'Run this program as admin' checkbox under the Privilege Level group in the Compatibility tab of the shortcut properties window.



This is very convenient ... not only does this save clicks, it also saves a lot of time debugging/investigating issues which were caused simply because the software was not launched as admin.



Hope this helps.
