    Are they any plans to fixing this so you would not have to right click the icon to give it admin rights in future release?

    Spybot is not the problem, it is a Microsoft Vista/7 "feature". It keeps programs that are not given administrator permission by the user from doing certain things, like changing system startup. This also prevents malware from damaging the system.

    Well the default shortcut could be altered so it starts as administrator; I know some other programs and even some executables are like this.
