am trying to run watir scripts on Wndows 7 on IE8 as administrator.

Here is problem description: Problem was with below statement(popup windows) 
popup = Watir::IE.attach(:url, /ContactDetails/) and Error message was ‘ Unable 
to locate the url(ContactDetails)

The issue seems to be that when there already exists an instance of IE8 that 
was opened with administrative privs, Watir won't see any other IE8 windows 
that are being run as admin, including ones it opens itself.

Fix that i have been doing: Turn off User Account Control (set to the lowest 
setting). Go to Control Panel->System and Security->Action Center->Change User 
Account Control settings, and drop the slider to the lowest setting.

But this is not a permanent fix, i have to change the windows 7 settings every 
day to run my automation script.

Can anyone help me finding out the permanent solution ?
