I currently have two user accounts. One is the administrator account (password protected) which i use to install programs. The other account is power user which i use regularly.
Today i had to connect a new usb device and Windows says that the power user account does not have enough rigths to do that.
Is there a way i can manage power user rights so i can add new devices?.
One last question.
To use that device i need to run an application that only runs if i'm logged as administrator. Is there a way i can "give" this program administrative rights?.

Any help would be appreciated.

Right click the program or shortcut and choose Run As. Enter the administrator's username and password. See this link for more information: http://www.microsoft...s.mspx?mfr=true

OK. Sorry i did not explain well. The thing is that this program will be used by someone that shouldn't know the password (and is better if he/she does not)
What i'm trying to do is to run that program as administrator but without typing the password every time. I mean, typing the password once and that it gets saved or telling Windows that this program should always run with administrative rights.

Okay. Try setting up a scheduled task to run that program, run once, with the administrative username and password. I've tested this on my workstation and when I signed in as a different user, that task was there. To run a scheduled task on-demand, right click the task and choose Run.

Does that help?

Thanks LindaGail a lot for your help but i decided to make my own program that uses the runas command. This way the user runs it as any other program, from the start button.
