I often run PortableApps from a RAM stick on my own Vista 32-bit PC. Some applications (Eraser, for example) require elevation in Vista. I'd like to be able to right-click in the PortableApps menu and select "Run As Adminstrator" but that's not available.
How can I elevate PortableApps applications? And no, I don't want to turn UAC off in Vista.
Thanks!
PS. Forgive me if this has been discussed already, I did a forum search but found nothing.

What you can do is right-click on, for example, EraserPortable.exe, and then hit Properties. Hit the Compatibility tab, and then check the box at the bottom that says "Run this program as an administrator." Then it will always ask you for elevation.
