I've also noticed that any alias that launches a program brings up a dialog asking which user to run the program as (WinXP, SP3)...

$*&#*(&&%(&%(*#(*&#@!@!@!@#@$@
I messed up. I will push a new update now.  Very stupid to not do more testing before I pushed an update.

Done, implemented in v 2.80.01; hold ctrl+shift when triggering an item to run as admin; for alias results you can also indicate a result should be run as admin with /runasadmin option.

New version with some useful features requested by users, including customizable titlebar which supports date+time, as well as ability to easily launch applications as an administrator.

Version 2.80.01 - November 20th, 2009

• [Feature] - Ability to customize titlebar, including ability to put date and time in it.
• [BugFix] - Users can no longer delete built-in hotkeys (but they can be disabled).
• [MinorFeature] - Added option to disable troubleshooting log.
• [Feature] - You can launch an item as an administrator by holding Ctrl+Shift as you launch it (or adding /runasadmin to the result in alias list)
• [Feature] - The launch history and search history are now saved to independent files (in config dir) instead of the ini file; allows faster save of bigger lists, and means less paranoia when moving and sharing normal ini settings file.
• [MinorFeature] - Improved text of options dialog for history options.
• [MinorFeature] - When reducing the number of items to keep in history, it now truncates the current list.
• [BugFix] - When launch history reached max, new items were not being added.

Rekrul, I know you've probably heard this a million times and probably have good reason to stick with windows 98 -- but as a coder i think trying to support win98 is becoming something that isn't worth the effort, it's just no longer in use for all but a handful of people.
