How to force a program to run without admin permission?

[klh2000]

Ok, so i have been trying to make a program run without requiring admin permission and i have almost suceeded.

I have been using reasource hacker to modify the executable,

 

I changed this:

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Copyright © Microsoft Corporation -->
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"></requestedExecutionLevel>
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="*" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
</assembly>

 

To This:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Copyright © Microsoft Corporation -->
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false"></requestedExecutionLevel>
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="*" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
</assembly>

 

 

This does allow the program to run on the machine it was modified on, but if i move it to a different machine via flash drive it will throw random errors.

 

Am i doing anything wrong?

I know nothing about codes. But this might explain it 

 

processorArchitecture="*" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" 

 

The processor architecture is different machine?

What program is it first?

Thank superuser.com for this:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\forcerunasinvoker]
@="Run without admin rights (UAC)"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\forcerunasinvoker\command]
@="cmd /min /C \"set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start \"\" \"%1\"\""

Simple - add in context menu on app. file choice to run without administrative rights. In some cases - small amount 0.1% of programs may ask twice about UAC prompt.

Save in <name_of_file>.reg and add it to the Windows Registry.
