I have used this program to enable Admin Privileges using Security, Local user, but WITS keeps showing a dialog box
telling me I do not have Admin Privileges; every time I log on. Am I missing something?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This has to do with Windows' User Account Control "feature". Even if the account you are running under has admin privileges, Windows will start programs with those privileges removed (purportedly for security reasons). To run with those privileges enabled, the program has to be run in "elevated mode" where the user has to explicitly approve raising of privileges. That is why you are seeing the dialog every time. Unfortunately, this is a Windows "feature". For more information and possible ways of disabling this (with impact on security) google for something like "user account control" or see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control
