    I'm running windows 7 x64, I'm tired of clicking on a game and having it ask "do you want to run this app"
    The specific app is "openrct2" aka a mod for roller coaster tycoon 2. I have a legit copy of rct2 installed, but this is a add on for it. I am using the "portable" version of it, as they release new "builds" for it sometimes 2-3 times a day, so I don't want to reinstall it all the time......

    I've tried running it as admin, still same thing... . Always pulls a window up asking if I want to run this app...

    Any easy way around this? It's getting old. Of course I want to run the app, I clicked it, I click it 20 times a day!

    Did you contact their support and ask what is going on as well. I never had to mess with UAC to run games.
