Force software to always run as admin without exposing admin password

We have many computers where users are not admin.

I need to run a .exe file but it always asks for Admin credentials. I want to avoid been called each time they run the file ....

Surfing the internet I found a solution that worked for me:

1. Create a shortcut to the Exe File

2. Enter properties of the shortcut and modify the "Target" field adding C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /user:domain\administrator before the existing file path

Save and run it. You will be prompted to enter the password:

Enter the password.

Always use the link to run the application.

Note: this does not work for Windows 7 Home or Starter Edition
