Running a program as administrator on Win XP

[amitabh]

I would like to automatically run my program using adminstrator's privleges even when the user has logged in as Guest. The problem is that it propmts for admin username and password everytime it runs, if I use its shortcut properties. Is there any way I can make my program run in admin mode without asking for username and password.

Why not login as admin by default each time ?

Not Sure about XP but in Win2k you will have to do the following..

1)Control Panel -> Users and Passwords ->

2) Check and then uncheck the "users must enter a password to use this computer" and press the apply button.

3) Now it will ask you the default login details...
Enter Administrator password and press ok. Next time when you reboot ..it will automatically log you as admin by default.
