Nope. We log in with normal user accounts. Definitely a division of permissions.
@Charles - There are a number of local policies in the UAC area that are enabled: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-In Administrator account Detect application installations and prompt for elevation Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations Run all Administrators in Admin Approval Mode Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations Behavior of the elevation prompt for admins in Admin Approval Mode -- Prompt for consent Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users - Prompt for credentials All other UAC settings are disabled.

Perhaps that is fooling UAC?

I brought it down one notch to match your setting, and rebooted, but double-clicking the shortcut on my desktop still just opens the app directly, no asking for creds. Shift-right-click does work, but I really don't want to have to do that every time. In Win7, I would double-click the icon, and UAC/Viewfinity would ask for credentials. I thought all I did was go into Advanced for the shortcut and check the Run as Administrator box, but that's not working for me now.

I did not have to use the runas command in the shortcut to make this happen. Now, in Win 10, I can't for the life of me get this working. If I go to the Advanced button in the shortcut, and choose Run as Administrator, nothing happens. The tool opens using my logged in credentials, not prompting me for my admin creds. If I do put in the runas command, I end up having to enter my credentials twice, once for my privilege elevation software, once in a command window that opens up. Anyone know of a better way of doing this?
