I am on a client machine but I have admin rights to check and uncheck any applications that need to be run as an administrator. Now I open VS2012 devenv.exe properties page and choose Compatibility tab and check Run This Program As An Administrator. So everytime I run the program, it runs in administrative mode.

Then I turn off my current administrator rights from the server machine. I can not run the program anymore as it always asks for username and password. I would like to know how can I uncheck what I have checked ? Because the Compatibility tab has disabled my checkbox "Run This Program As An Administrator".

I don't quite understand what this means. Exactly what operating systems are each machine running, and what happened on the server--precisely?
