Run MMIP as Admin

[TwiztidSinz]

I made this registry tweak a while back, but never got around to uploading it.
With Windows 7 (been loving it since the Beta came out) on the Horizon, I figured I might as well upload this for everyone to use.
It's a simple registry 'hack'/tweak that will allow you to run MMIP files as admin so that you can install them properly on a system using UAC.

You can download it from my MediaFire upload HERE...
Or copy/paste the 'source' below into a text editor and save it as a .REG file.

Excellent, I'm sure many people will find this useful!

Good tweak, I have not tested it under Win 7 x64 but it looks good.
