Losing Admin Privileges After Thunderbird Updates

Hi...

I use accounting software for my business (Account Edge Pro Version 28), and it's able to interface with Thunderbird, allowing me email invoices to my customers from within the Account Edge software. (More specifically, Account Edge Pro launches Thunderbird, which sends the email, though this is done "behind the scenes".)

One requirement mandated by Account Edge Pro, is that I need to run Thunderbird as an "Administrator". So long as this setting is enabled in Thunderbird, everything works great. However, every time Thunderbird updates, my Administrator setting is reset...and I need to manually re-activate.

Is there a way to permanently apply Administrator settings within Thunderbird, so that this setting "survives" an update?

Curious...

Thanks,

Dave

Really I would suggest just changing the windows account to administrator. Same effect but not limited to a single application.

Are you using windows 64bit perhaps?
