How do I run certain files as administrator?

I downloaded the Crysis demo,and I want to install the sanbox2 editor that came with it. When I try,it says I have to to run it as administrator. I know how to run things as administrator: right click then hit run as administrator,but when I right click it,it has no administrator option.

Are you using XP or Vista? In Vista the Run as Administrator option is always present (thanks to UAC), but it XP (if I remember correctly) you might need to old down either crtl, shift or alt -- I can't completely remember to get the run as menu.

I've got the run as adminstrator option there, and I've got UAC off.

I'm not sure why you don't have it (and I'm running as administrator at the moment).

I'm on Vista,but the option isn't there. How do I turn UAC on?stephant_6

If UAC is off programs already have admin rights so no need to select it. I would leave UAC on though.

Maybe you have a standard user account.

It's simple. You just have the wrong Icon.

Fish around in that Sandbox folder and find the right application, the one that launches it.
