Run a program without admin password prompt

Solved/Closed

Hello,

I’m facing a little problem. I’m the administrator on one of my child's PC, and I've set up a standard user session with parental controls so he doesn't mess up the PC, given that he has only limited computer skills, and to be able to control the PC's startup hours.

The problem is that I had never used the parental control option, and he can’t launch a game without the admin password, which I obviously can’t give him, or else I lose all the benefits of the maneuver.

I should mention that the game in question is an online game and that the parental control software being used is the one integrated into Windows 7.

I’ve looked into the parental control options, but the game in question doesn’t appear in the list (which only contains Windows games like Solitaire, etc.), and he is allowed to launch all applications in the program permissions.

Thanks in advance, and happy new year to all.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 26.0

    Open the administrator session
    Right-click on the game's executable
    Properties
    Security tab
    Edit
    Select the account in question
    Check: full control
    Apply and OK.
