Users cannot run our Calendar Creator program ( Broderbund's site is no help ). They get the error message
You must be logged on as Administrator in order to run this program.
I do not want to put the user into the local Admins group nor do I want to run the program with different credentials ( which would mean giving the user the local admins password to run as ). These two options are unacceptable. Is there a place in the local policies to allow any user to run this program?
I even added the user to local admins, installed as user, removed user from local admins and still get this error.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions

Not sure if this will work:
Move the shortcut from:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs

(where username denotes a your user account configured on the computer)

TO:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
