Is it somehow possible to mark an app so that it always runs "as Administrator" by default?

There's a freeware program by Nirsoft called AdvancedRun that I've been doing a lot with recently. You can setup the program to run the software of your choice set to "RunAs: Administrator" and then launch the program normally via the command "AdavancedRun.exe /Run" I don't know of a way to easily do this with PortableApp's launcher.

One option I know, is you can go to the location of where you installed the app in your Windows disks or USB, and right click the *appname*.exe, go to Properties->Compatibility tab and set it to "Run this program as an administrator". Pretty sure you have to redo it between program updates, but it works.
