    How to change privileges of an autostart-application?

    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?
    win7 x86, VS 2008 & 2010, C++/CLI, C#, .NET 3.5 & 4.0, VB.NET, VBA... WPF is comming

    private lessons are not an option so please don't ask for help in private, I won't replay

    if you use Opera and you'd like to have the tab-button functionality for the texteditor take a look at my Opera Tab-UserScirpt; and if you know how to stop firefox from jumping to the next control when you hit tab let me know

    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.
