I am managing a few computers and there is a program on them that must be run as an admin to work. There are multiple standard users and one admin user (me) on the computers. Is there a way to set only that program to run as an administrator without needing to enter in admin credentials every time on a standard account?

You could hard code a batch file with the administrator username/password to start the application with the run as command. Obviously that is a really bad idea for security. What program is the challenge? LPChip has a good idea. – StackAbstraction Sep 02 '15 at 19:07

This question keeps coming up (and we seem to have a lot of trouble finding good answers). See [Allow administrator rights to a program running under a limited account](http://superuser.com/q/782090), [Automatically run a batch file as administrator](http://superuser.com/q/788924), [Always run a given program as an administrator in Windows 8.1 without prompt](http://superuser.com/q/664001), [Schedule a task with admin privileges without a user prompt in Windows 7](http://superuser.com/q/770420), and [How do I specify “Run with highest privileges” in SchTasks?](http://superuser.com/q/243605) – Scott - Слава Україні Sep 03 '15 at 01:31
