How To Download Games Without Administrator Password

Hi PlasmaticGears,

I've created a admin account and a standard account for my younger brother on windows 8.1. The problem is that Uplay game launcher asks for admin password every time its being launched. Is there a way to configure it? It's installed on my D drive and so are the games (AC3, FC3 and Watch Dogs). Any help is much appreciated. Steam allows you to purchase, download and install games without needing to be adminstrator and it never asks for administrator permission/password.

You may try giving permissions to the standard user. Check to see if the following helps.

a.Log in as an administrator.

b.Navigate to the program`s .exe file.

c.Right click on it and select Properties.

d.Click Security. Click Edit.

e.Select the user and place a check mark on Full Control under “Allow” in “Permissions for”.

f.Click Apply and OK.

Now log on to the standard user and check if it works fine.

I have already done this, but when I try to access the .exe from a non-administrator account it still requires the administrator password. What should I do?
