[Solved] Shortcuts from start to 'Run as administrator' don't work (Win 8.1 x64)

Shall I suggest that you could easily run the programs only on administation? I presume that you do not want to run as standard some of the programs.
If you want to assign admin right to particular programs, then you could well to go to the properties of the short cut of the program, by right clicking it, and then go to advanced mode and click Run as Administrator box, Now you will see a blue window admin symbol in the short cut of the program. Likewise, you could select the shortcuts of those programs and do the same. Is this what you want? This may be the solution, but there is no shortcut for applying all the programs as admin.

You can't run Windows programs permanently as a admin - only as a one off which is probably for security reasons.
The only one that you can leave on permanently is the hidden admin account and is why MS advise disabling when done because of that reason.
Having to dig out the .exe to run programs as an admin would annoy the hell out of me and I would have run the Refresh option by now as I like things to run as intended.

Don't forget to create a restore point or export that file/folder before making any changes.

I am back to work now, sorry for the long delay as I had to take care of the family.
Just answered a lot of posts and this thread is 2 pages long so I just scanned through it, so sorry if I ask a question that is already answered.
But first thing is what level do you have the UAC set at currently? If the dial all the way down? If not what one is it set at?
Shane
George:
Hi Shane, great to have you back. No need for apology, you're doing a massive favor nurturing us, outsiders here. "Alas" you also have others to take care of.
The UAC is at the second notch from the top 'Don't notify me when I make changes to Windows settings'.
