John: Nice feature in 2008 (server $$ gets you server features, perhaps?) but in Win 7 I've resorted to duplicate the folder.
Just tried the "Run as admin" and, agreed, no joy. Though somewhat off topic, one interesting feature that I came across in the knowledge base is that you can log into the same server application multiple times if you create a folder named "clientLocal" in the 4D folder. I've got one app that's in main event loop so I use this trick instead of having to run through the startup cycle.
