Not able to run programs as administrator even with password?

I recently changed my Windows 7 login screen to require a username along with the password. I hid my admin account through the registry.

I'm able to access the admin account whenever I need to but I would like to have access to programs as a standard user by typing my administrator password. However, when I go to do any action that requires administrator privileges (such as creating a backup), it says "To continue, type an administrator password, and then click Yes." There is no box for a username or a password on that page.

How can I open programs that require administrator access as a standard user, without having to add UAC bypass to specific programs?

I know, but when I do that I get "To continue, type an administrator password, and then click Yes." There is no box to type in the administrator password.
