I'd like to know if it's still essential to run Scope as admin and ... Why ? (I can't remember why... )
Because to run as admin can also generate gentle boring issues.
So, today, I decided to run as non admin ! I like dangerous life. I'm a hothead, I'm not scared of anything.
Scope 7 always runs "as administrator".
v5 needs to be run that way.
the reason is that beginning in Vista/win7, Windows blocks apps from accessing system resources like ram, unless running "as admin". some Scope plugins require this access.
v7 already ALWAYS runs as admin. there is no need to do anything special. that is why v7 brings up the message box about "do you want to let this app make changes to your system" when it starts. you do not need to set it to run as admin in the shortcut.
