John is the computer administrator using an application on his Windows 7 computer that is not configured to prompt for elevation when it is run. Which of the following compatibility options should he configure to ensure that he will always be prompted when they execute the application?
  1. Enable the Run This Program as an Administrator compatibility option.
  2. Configure the application to run in Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode.
  3. Enable the Run in 128 Colors compatibility option.
  4. Enable the Disable Desktop Composition compatibility option.
Explanation
Answer: A - John should enable the Enable the Run This Program as an Administrator compatibility option to ensure that he will always be prompted when they execute the application.

Key takeaway: User Account Control, or UAC, is a new feature that helps prevent malicious programs from damaging a system. It stops the automatic installation of unauthorized applications. To run a program as an administrator, you should right-click the icon that you use to run the program and then click Properties. On the Compatibility tab, click to select the Run this program as an administrator check box and then click OK.
