Answered Admin password for a program

  • Thursday, February 21, 2013 8:21 PM
     
     
    We have a clipart/stock photo software pack (BizArt) that we use for our monthly news letter and such. When a regular user opens the software it doesn't display any of the pictures or art that should be in the database. But, when I run it as administrator with the password it shows them all. I need to figure out how to give the program admin rights without prompting for a password on a standard account. The old IT guy had to setup before on another computer but I cannot reverse-engineer it to figure out what he did and can't get a hold of him. Thanks guys for any tips.

    When running as non admin the app can be victim of filesystem and registry "UAC virtualization" so it may look in fake directories / reg. keys (somewhere under the non-admin user profile). You can try to right click this app in Task Manager and see if UAC virtualization is checked. If so, uncheck it and try to open these pictures again.
