Elevate individual applications (as admin)

Hello and thanks for SyMenu!
I hunted around but couldn't find an answer to my question:
Is there a way to elevate individual applications -- particularly for autostart items? I saw a discussion here: http://www.ugmfree.it/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=361 but no solution. I do not want to elevate the entire SyMenu because that will elevate all portable apps and present a security risk (in browsers for example.)
Specifically, I need to autostart items such as Processhacker and eXpresso, and they need elevated privileges to work properly. There is never a time when they don't need elevation.
Thank you in advance. Symenu 4.12 Win7x64 & Win10x64 edited by gggirlgeek on 29/08/2015 edited by gggirlgeek on 31/08/2015 |

I feel stupid. Forgot about simply marking the application to open as admin in Windows' compatibility options. However it's still a worthwhile feature request for convenience and portability.
BTW the discussion link was http://www.ugmfree.it/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=361. Sorry.
Thank you so much for considering my request! I am really falling in love with Symenu, particularly because it performs Windows Start searches as well as Symenu searches. I install a lot of new systems and Symenu cuts down on my setup time tremendously. I will be donating. |

Shouldn't SyMenu Suite be listed in Wikipedia?

RE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_desktop_application_launchers
I don't see SyMenu Suite listed there. However, it is listed under Start Menu Replacements but I believe that's incorrect, or maybe just incomplete. Any Portable Platform/Launcher could be used as a Start Menu replacement but that is just the bare minimum of what SyMenu Suite does. For example, unlike StartIsBack and it's kin, portable platform/launchers catalog, update, and provide external links to software sources. (I feel that "Application Launcher" doesn't cover it either, but this is where SyMenu's kin are listed so I'm not up for nit picking.)
I am willing to edit the application launcher Wikipedia page but I don't have some of the information it asks for, so I need some help, or just a developer to go behind me and fill it in (e.g. the programming language.) Is someone willing to do that? Also notice that all the other apps on the list have their own Wikipedia page. SyMenu does not so I just linked the download page in the footnotes. I also put an external reference to Raymond.cc's article which recommends Symenu and a couple more. He's pretty reliable when it comes to Windows IMHO.
Update: It' done. Have a look. Only the license type and the programming language are missing. I also am not sure I understand whether there's a difference in SyMenu, SyMenu Suite, and SyMenu SPS Suite. Is there one? Make sure I named it correctly, please. I'll leave it to you and your helper elves @Gianluca.
Thanks and I stil love SyMenu.

Wow that discussion on Wikipedia was strange. Basically, you were too excited about your software? So, without actual evidence of anything against the rules they can just say, "No, the public should not have this information because you like it too much"? It's amazing that there is any information at all in Wikipedia.
Anyway, I corrected the information you mentioned. One thing though. Are you sure I should put "Freeware" in the License column? I don't think they were asking the pricing model. I think they want the type of copyrights license it has (if that makes sense. I don't know much about this subject.) Maybe it should say "Proprietary"?
