I have some applications that need administrator privilege to
run like hardware monitoring or games from popcap.com...and it
is so troublesome and annoying to use right-click and select
Run as... every time I need to run it.
 
Maybe something that works like sudo on UNIX...root permit
the user(s) some privileges to do something (run program for
example) and then user only prompted to enter their own
password or NOT prompted if there is no password...well you
know...
 
Thanks before, and sorry about my bad English...

You need to find out -why- it needs admin priviledges. It can be either NTFS permissions, local security permissions (which can be change using secpol.msc) or Registry permissions. You can then set the relative permissions and allow the program to be run as a normal user w/o logging in as admin!

OP
For Popcap games (demo) it solved by changing the registry permission. But for H/W monitoring I have no idea...
