Allowing progrograms to load in a Standard User with admin password

lysinger-j · Jun 27, 2014

I am loading Windows 7 Professional on my parents computer, I do not want them to load viruses on the computer again, so I made them Standard Users and myself the Admin. Testing to ensure it worked I tried to load a program, and it worked, however, I would like to be able to put in my username and password in their account to allow the program to load, instead of logging out of their account and into the admin. I have seen it done before but on domains, not sure if it is possible to do on a home PC. I have searched the internet with no luck, any help is appreciated.

Logged in as any standard user, attempting to install an application simply brings up the admin pwd prompt. You don't have to log out and log in as admin.

Doesn't Right Click on exe file and select "load as admin" work ?

USAFRet: that was the first thing that I tried, It just brings up a dialog box that says "you must be logged in as an administrator to run this program"

JackNaylorPE: That was the second thing that I tried, right clicking on it and telling it to "run as admin" also brings up the same dialog box
