    Forcing a program to run with standard privileges?


    I have a program that has the elevated shield on its icon but when I run it, I get a window that says

    Setup should not initially be run elevated. Run setup with standard privileges; it will elevate if needed.

    I'm logged in as a user with Administrator rights. That's not going to change. Ho do I force this program to NOT launch elevated?

    Found this AdvancedRun - Run a Windows program with different settings
    Select Current User Without UAC elevation
    It works. Hooray.
