Make Programs Run As Administrator By Default in Windows 7

One of the little annoying feature of windows 7 is the User Account Controls and the Administrator privileges needed by programs to change or alter make changes in your system. This is actually a nice security feature.

But when running programs like Netbeans IDE etc I faced a lot of problems since I wasn’t able to understand where the problems were until I realized that I had to use the programs runs as administrator since the program was installed in my windows (C:) drive and wring to the C: drive requires administrator privileges.
