How do you make an application not run with elevated priviledges

1

I have this problem that started recently(about 3 days ago), every time I run Vim or Scite either by clicking its icon or using the context menu, it brings up the UAC dialog asking me if I want to run it with elevated priviledges. The thing is, I haven't set it to run as administrator. I have no problem with it running with elevated priviledges, the problem is having to click yes every time I open a file. I don't want to change UAC settings to "Don't prompt me". I want Vim to run the usual way.

Additional details:
Their icons have the "shield" on the left bottom corner(obviously)
Vim and Scite both have an entry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Open with VIM and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Open with Scite which I added myself. However, there's also an entry for JEdit there yet it runs normally.

I've found a solution. I had to go to the location of the executable, right click on it and go to the compatibility tab. I then clicked Change setting for all users and disabled 'Run as administrator`(it's not the same as the one in the advanced option. Also, unset any compatibility options and it should work.
