Under Vista, the Dev Studio program installer adds a desktop shortcut
to the Desktop. (.Net application.) The shortcut does not have a
context menu item to run as administrator. However, if you create a
shortcut manually from the exe file it does have a context menu item
to run as administrator. Why are they different?

The big question is, why does the program only run if you run as
admin???

This is a good question as well as a tip of sorts. I've noticed this with
some other program shortcuts as well.
