<fieldset><legend>How to always run a program as administrator in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8</legend>
Many utilities need to be run as administrator in order to function properly, especially older utilities that haven't been updated to support Vista yet.
<br>
All shortcuts in Windows Vista have a special property that you can set that will allow the application to run as Administrator.
<br>
This works perfectly for creating a batch file to restart a service, for instance.
<ol>
<li>
If you do not already have a shortcut to the program then right-click on the program and select <b>Create <u>S</u>hortcut</b> to create one.
</li>
<li>
Right-click on the shortcut, and click the Advanced button on the Shortcut page to get to the Advanced Properties dialog.
<br>
