Alright, I was bored fiddling around with properties of my shortcuts and came across the Privilege Level section...with a pretty little time-saving box labeled "Run This Program as Administator".


Cheesy


Running (for example: FSX, FS9, TMNations, Photoshop, DXTBmp)  as Admin solves all problems with the program(s).

Well, it's not an extreme timesaver but it saves you from having to rightclick and run as admin. everytime.
Here's how you do it (very easy and you may already know) Using FSX as an example. Assuming the FSX.exe Shortcut is on your desktop.
Right click on the FSX.exe - Shortcut or whatever shortcut you use most and click Properties.
Click the Compatibility tab.
Go down to the Privilege Box and check Run This Program as an Admin. Then click Apply and OK
For more than one user on your computer, Click the Show settings for all users button (just bellow Run the Program as admin box) and check in the Run as admin box again and Apply; OK; OK. Done. No more right clicky!
Do that for your games and photo editing programs.  Smiley
