    I use the start orb changer and have two profiles, an administrator and a standard user. Is there any way to change the start orb in the standard profile since the program can only be used as an administrator? Thanks

    Windows does allow you to elevate a program to admin level. Under the comparability tab under properties you can set an individual program to launch with privileges. I cant ever get to it because I am on admin level but you should be able to put in the password and save it. If not it would probably ask for it everytime im not sure.

    Yes, I've done that and the orb successfully changes under the administrator profile, but after a reboot the original orb still remains under the standard profile.

    I tried this utility and i'm no longer prompted in admin mode. :rolleyes:


    edit: I rebooted and it took care of the problem, i'm now getting my elevated prompts.
