I transferred a Windows 7 box to a Parallels vm via external media using the Parallels Transporter Agent, following the instructions here: http://kb.parallels.com/Attachments/kcs-35993/Parallels Transporter Agent 10 User's Guide.pdf
In the process, I selected Enable Automatic Logon (step 9, p. 15 of above link).
In the vm, when I right-click something and select "run as administrator", it does not prompt for the admin password. Instead, it just runs whatever I selected, but NOT as administrator.
On the original Windows box, in Visual Studio 2008 running NOT as administrator, when I attempt to debug (F5), it would give me the option to restart Visual Studio with the needed privileges. On the vm, it simply tells me I don't have the needed privileges, and gives me no option to restart VS with privileges.
I wonder if the culprit is the Enable Automatic Logon I selected in step 9 of the Transporter Agent process. Even if not, I'd like to know: how can I disable Automatic Logon?
In the meantime, my work-around is to make my user be Administrator. The main point, of course, is: how can I keep my user as a Standard User, and still get UAC prompts as expected, and VS ask to restart with privileges as it does on the original Windows box?
Thanks,
David
