I love running as a standard user for its security pluses, my admin account is password protected.

The problem appears when I need to run a program that requires admin rights, is there a way to include the password somehow so I won't have to type it every time ? Without changing my current setup: admin password protected account and I log on to a limited standard user account.

I'm thinking of script or something like that ?
