[AccessD] Windows 7: run access as administrator

Actually, that's the reverse of the reported solution.
I suspect that you performed this same operation at an earlier date and it
was reversed somehow by a registry script - meaning turning it off now has
actually turned it back on.

Subject: [AccessD] Windows 7: run access as administrator

I was getting a constant "Allow this application to make changes?" message
when opening ANY specific access databases, i.e. the shortcut telling Access
to open FE_XYZ.  This thing has been annoying me since I started running
Windows 7 and pinning specific databases on the task bar.

Today I found the answer.

Access.exe (in Program files (x86) ) has a property called "run as
administrator" which was checked, how I do not know.  I unchecked that and
voila, no more harassment when opening a database.

I have the same issue opening spreadsheets etc.  I suspect the answer will
be the same, unchecking that property for Excel.exe.
