Windows 7 has a more strict access control system (Microsoft changed it
quite a bit since Vista) - even if the user has administrative rights,
any programs started by that user do not get administrative rights
unless explicitly granted (via a dialogue). I welcome this change ...
but it seems they might have taken it too far?

Try scratching Bill's head instead of your own :-)
