When double clicking on a program to open it, nothing
happens, I have to right click and then select run as. A
window opens up asking "Which user account do you want to
use to run this program?" How do I fix this problem?
THANKS

It may not be a problem. If you're currently logged on to a limited user
account, some programs will not run. Reasons vary. If a system
configuration tool or installation program, you must be logged on with an
account in the administrator group or run the program via RunAs.

Another common problem appears when a program tries to write to a folder or
registry key that is off limits to a limited account. Usually adjustments
to the method used to install the program can resolve these situations.
