Also not quite true. All you need to do is find the windows manifest portion of the exe file (7-zip can probably do it for you) and replace the xml attribute for requesting admin (I forget the details)

The last time I did this was many, many years ago when I actually needed to because I hadn't yet figured out how to boot off a USB drive and replace magnify.exe with cmd.exe… (hence “I forget the details”). I'm sure a Google search will help you

Does it force it to run as administrator? Or something else
