	Hey, Wanted to know if there was a way to set it to when I click on FSX, FSC, ASN, REX4, ACARS and any other programs running with FSX it runs as admin by default?? I have all of the icons on my taskbar, and from their you cant select to run as admin so then I gotta go searching for the program in the program list and stuff and its a pain. Thanks!

	Ok, Also I just got PFPX and I am trying to set it up so it draws the weather from ASN but I cant seem to find the files that it needs, I searched and looked everywhere. Any Idea? The files are: wx_station_list.txt and current_wx_snapshot.txt

	I can help with that one. In PFPX, click on the greyscale globe in the top left corner, click Weather, and then Setup. In the ActiveSky field, you'll want to point towards your AppData folder. I'm using Win 8.1 x64 and my location for those files is c:\Users\Larry\AppData\Roaming\HiFi\ASNFSX\Weather. EDIT: Regarding running FSX as an administrator, did you install FSX in its own folder on the "root", or did you use the default which puts it under Program Files (or Program Files (x86))?

Thanks so much Larry! I got the ASN weather working in PFPX, found the folder under the exact same root as you (except for the username ;)). I have FSX and all FS Related programs installed on their own drive, the FSX root folder is: D:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

	Glad to have helped! Hmm, not sure why "Run as Administrator" would be greyed-out, then. You should be able to mark all .EXE files as "Run as Administrator". (You weren't trying to do it to an .ICO file, were you?)

	Here are some pictures showing the difference between the FSX properties menu and PFPX, FSX does not let me make it run as admin by default. PFPX and everything else does. no idea what an .ICO file is.

	ICOs are ICOn files. Some applications keep the icon separate from the executable. FSX isn't one of them, however, so the question was moot. It looks like you're referencing a shortcut rather than the actual executable. IIRC, the "Microsoft Games" folder only had shortcuts, not the actual programs. Specifically search for FSX.EXE, make a note of where it is located, and see if you get a "Compatibility" tab under properties.
