Can you lanuch a non steam game as administrator?
I occasionally like to play older games and mods for older games that require admin permissions to run on Windows 7. Problem is, I can't seem force them to run this way and through Steam at the same time. I already tried forcing the program to ask me for admin permission every time I open it, it doesn't with Steam. Any workarounds?

Right click on the game, open as Admin.

or

Right clock on the game, click on properties. Go to Compatability Tab, jeck the box near the botto, that states Run as Admin.

This is the option you'll have to do if you wish to run your games through Steam.

To clarify, right click the .exe for the game in the installation folder, and click properties there.

As I said, I already tried that, and it didn't work.

Did you try and run Steam as admin?
