I set up a standard user account in Vista so I could run without UAC on and still have security protection. But in that account when I right click a shortcut and select "run as administrator" it doesn't actually run as administrator and does not prompt me to enter the admin password like it works on XP. This is Home Premium so I have no access to a policy editor either. Has Microsoft completely removed the ability to run something with admin access under a standard user account in Vista?
Please do not turn this into a lecture on why I should be using UAC. I just want to know if there is an option to enforce prompting of admin password so I can run an app in the standard account if I need to. I've looked and can not find any such option.
