    Somehow I inadvertently selected my browser, Maxthon2, to ruun as an administrator. This causes an extra step when opening M2 as I have to give my OK to run it. how can I undo this?

    EDIT: Made a mistake with this post. When clicking on M2's icon>properties>advanced, the admin rights box is not checked. However, when opening M2, I get a need to give permission prompt. It is this prompt that I want to turn off. None of my other apps prompt me in this manner.

    Strange things are happening. Followed your instructions and "run as admin" was already unchecked! But the program still opened as an admin. I then deleted the shortcut and made a new one. This time when opening Advanced, the admin button was checked. So I unchecked/apply/OK, and then opened the program...which opened as an admin??? Should I have rebooted, or what?
