I previously ran SciTE and Autoit from a Windows XP machine and therefore didn't have any UAC or privileges issues to deal with. Now I'm running Win7 64 bit and noticed that when opening a .au3 file I don't get any prompt choice to run as admin. It simply opens the file I requested. When I hit F5 or click on "Go" to run the application SciTE is unable to hook into the app and get Console output when run like this.
I can, however, go through the trouble of opening SciTE independently as administrator before opening the source code .au3 files and when I hit f5 or "Go" like this I am again
