Thunderbird and Administrator Privileges

Hi...

I use Thunderbird (currently using Windows version 91.6.1, 64 bit) for all of my email work, and have it linked to my accounting program, so that I can send invoices directly to my customers through my accounting program. In order to do this, the accounting program (Accountedge Pro) requires that I have Thunderbird set up to run as an Administrator. In this configuration, everything works seamlessly.

My question relates to Thunderbird's updates. Every time Thunderbird updates to a new version, my Thunderbird Administrator privileges are turned off, and I need to manually go back in to turn them on again. (Without these "Run As Administrator" settings turned on, my accounting program won't send my emails/invoices through Thunderbird.)

Is there a way to keep these Thunderbird Administrator settings permanently turned on (until I manually turn them off)? I have them turned on "for all users", but they keep resetting after each Thunderbird update.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I believe you're referring to a Windows setting, not a Thunderbird setting. With the program updated (i.e., replaced), Windows removes that authority until user reconfirms, which is what you are experiencing.

Okay...that makes sense.

Thank you.

See the attached picture that shows how to run TB as administrator, and see if the setting is retained after updates.
