I would like to see Run Program as Administrator added.  Windows 7 seems to have locked up quiet a few useful functions in particular defrag.  I can't seem to automate a defrag session.  With this new function it should be a snap.  Thanks, Rob.

Now you can use RG.exe utility (in RoboTask folder). This utility requests the maximal rights and executes the specified command line.

Change the registry value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Run\RoboTask

to:
"C:\Program Files\RoboTask\RG.exe" "C:\Program Files \RoboTask\RoboTask.exe"

for x64 systems:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\RoboTask\RG.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\RoboTask\RoboTask.exe"

But remember:
you must confirm the start of RoboTask manually every time.

Of course, you can turn OFF UAC. In this case Windows 7 will work as XP.
But this is not recommended.

I'm sorry. I haven't understood your question correctly.

Use "Run As User" action. It is in "For Windows NT/2000/XP" group

"Run program/Open document" action is unsuitable for this purpose.

"Run program/Open Document" action uses another mechanism than "Run Program as User".
Therefore "Run program/Open Document" action can start some programs as well as open some documents (of course registered types of documents).
