VS Setup Projects and Vista "Run as Administrator"

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I have a VS2005 setup project for installing my C# application. Nothing fancy, just copies some files to Program Files and creates Start Menu shortcuts.

On Windows Vista, the "Run as Administrator" is missing from the context menu when I right-click my shortcuts. I need that capability, what makes that disappear? How can I get it to appear?

Thanks,
Eric
