Interesting. I have Icom's Remote Utility but haven't run it lately. Nonetheless, you're right in there are two levels of administration in Windows. That's been true since at least XP, and just making your personal account an "administrator" doesn't give you both levels. I have ham apps that you must right-click on and select "run as administrator." This is because of where those apps write files.
