Your games should not have that symbol at all. You are probably running it under compatibility mode, or you set it to run as admin.

Right-click on the icon, select Properties, go to the "Compatibility" tab, and uncheck all boxes.

sorry it's not a reall problem but it annoy me, is there a way i can remove the administrator rights symbol from the icon. i'm using windows 8.1 x64 !

thanks in advance and sorry for that stupid post.

From the icon for what application/thing exactly?

I'm not sure it's going to be easy.

Depends on what it is. You might be able to make it so the app doesn't start with admin rights through the properties menu, but then you'd have to right click and select Run as Administrator is you do that.

My rig: Intel Core i7-8700K OC 4.8 | NZXT Kraken X62 | ASUS Z370-F | 16 GB Trident Z RGB 3000 (2x8) | EVGA 1070 SC | EVGA SuperNova NEX650G1 | NZXT H700 | Samsung 250GB 850-EVO | 2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDDs

every icon if it's possible, i just want to hide that symbol

...you may be able to disable UAC but I wouldn't recommend it and it may not yield the results you want still...

I understand that, I'm just saying that this seems to be the easiest way to potentially solve the problem...or to be logged in as the hidden administrator...
