    NOT running programme as an administrator
    « on: November 07, 2013, 09:00:33 AM »
    Hello,

    I have downloaded a programme that automatically gets administrator rights. I need to turn those administrator rights off. Is there any way I could do that? I googled a lot, but I couldnīt find anything that would help me.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Best regards,
    Oehtab

    Edit: I forgot to state important fact: why I need to change the admin privileges is: it disables Windows Aero, but I wanna keep Aero enabled.

    If it dis-ables AERO then it is at best a poorly written app...

    Find an alternative...it may be a good idea to mention which app it is for more assistance.

      I canīt find an alternative. It is anti-cheat programme. The thing why I need this is that the programme Universal Anti Cheat (www.uac.ac) ALWAYS disables Windows Aero function. But one guy  managed to Enable Aero while running UAC and most likely used cheats thanks to it. However, the creator of the programme said itīs only a bug and moved on. I want to prove that it was not a bug and that he cheated.

      Edit: If anyone thinks I want to misuse it, I can give a link here and you can read the discussion yourself.

      It's impossible to even view that poorly built site...

        It doesnīt matter. I beg you, is there any way to NOT make it run as an administrator? :) Any programme, or anything? Or is there a way to not let anything disable Aero?

        Generally if a program needs administrative rights it's for a reason.

        That said if something disables Aero and the response from the creator is that it's a bug and to ignore it you have to ask if this is the sort of software you want to be using, certainly sounds poorly written.

          Itīs a freeware, but thereīs not any other good anti-cheat that supports SWAT4 - an 8 years old game.  At least I donīt know any. I am playing a tournament based on that programme, and even if I hate it for itīs poor programmation, I must use it if I want to play the tournament.

          I need to get that cheater, nobody believes me that when Aero is enabled, it made the programme bug. If anyone helps me out with that, I īll appreciate it a lot. :/
