Solved Programs only open if run by administrator?

Important update for all those who use CCleaner! The problem is solved, I had updated my CCleaner professional program. It had put all my programs to sleep - which is an option on the program but normally you select the ones you want:) So I had to wake them all up!

Man thank you for this, I hadn't even ran CCleaner and this was the problem thank you!

Try this, make a second admin account, log into it, remove all groups from that your main account is a part of (Users/Administrator/etc...) then add Administrator back to your main account's groups. Don't add the "Users" group. Login back into your main and hope fully it resolves the issue like it did for me! You can then delete the extra administrator account.

I think Users takes precedence over more controlling groups for security reasons when you first get a windows account from the installation vs. the control panel way to create accounts.
