I'm using win7 and I have a logitech mouse with few non-standard buttons which are driven by logitech setpoint software. it automatically starts with windows.

the problem is that it starts with normal user privileges and I cannot use my configured buttons in applications that run with administrator priviliges. everytime I re-start windows I have to manually exit the setpoint software and start it again as administrator.

here's my question: do you know how can I change the autostart settings of the logitech software so that it always starts as administrator?

If the program installed to the Windows folder, you have to un-install it.
Install again, and install to \ProgramData rather than \ProgramFiles

Then, tell THAT to autostart. It will have permission to access that folder.
