Is there a way to simply run every program in Windows 7 as an administrator?

I wanted to change something in the hosts file but Windows didn't let me until I started Notepad with administrator rights. I then tried to run FileZilla server on xampp but I was unable to until I started xampp in admin mode.

I'm tired of running into strange issues related to this.

Turn UAC off, or log on as admin? – Bali C Dec 6 '11 at 10:42

You need to work on your accept rate. If someone's answer has solved your question, please go back and mark it as an accepted answer. – ziesemer Dec 6 '11 at 10:42

Look at increasing your accept rate as well... – Bali C Dec 6 '11 at 10:43
OK I understand the concept of the "acceptance rate" now though it has nothing to do with my post.....which I think is a legit question so no idea why it got voted down. – nerdess Dec 6 '11 at 15:15

This is a better question for http://superuser.com . That said, you can use the "User Accounts" control panel, "Change User Account Control Settings", and change the slider to "Never Notify". Not recommended, but as long as your account is already in the "Administrators" group, this should give you what you're looking for.
