keeps asking for admin password

from Stardock Forums

Occasionally, Fences will ask me for the admin password.   For security reasons, I usually use a non-admin account and it is a pain in the butt to have to type in my password when Fences asks for it.

 

Any way to prevent this?

Find a way to allow Fences to make changes to your PC without being prompted by UAC. I believe that's the only way.

My fix is simple. I always disable UAC.

More like Windows is the actual problem, not Fences. :)

Can you right click on it, take possession or run as admin?

elevate your account to administrator?. I notice you mention a non admin account or disable UAC which is always the first thing i do on a fresh windows install
