Having to run most any program as "administrator" is the result of a windows security issue, or a software program issue.
 
The user should NEVER have to do this for most any properly configured program.
 
There is little to be gained by doing so. And much annoyance can result.
 
If you have to run any current program as an administrator something is wrong.
 
Running windows explorer elevated may "solve" the "problem" of running Sonar as an administrator, but it is not appropriate.
 
And it increases security risks.
 
Work arounds are not answers.

No security risks when this computer is used only by me and no one else, when I'm not in a LAN, when all the software I use are reliable, when I use a good antivirus and firewall, when I got healthy habits for internet access, when I have a good backup routine.
Not afraid to be happy. 

There is always a security risk.
 
A couple of years ago a major AV company released disks that were infected during replication.
 
It is always possible for any software company's products to be infected on the distribution servers.
 
It is NOT possible to assure local scanning software will catch the latest exploits.
 
Elevation of any windows process can open the door.
 
Ask yourself, "Why am I having to do what well over 98% of Sonar users do not have to do?"
 
And then provide a workaround?
 
Time to buy a vowel.
 

I do not want to create a dilemma here.
Although I have 33 years of computer experience, I do not own the truth.
I just put a solution to a problem that is not solved by the Cakewalk.
So, as I said before, I think disable UAC is the most flexible solution, as long as you are in a controlled environment, as I mentioned above.
Otherwise, we will always have to live in paranoia.

Antivirus software and firewalls are highly overrated pieces of software.

Security experts don't rate antivirus software even in the top 5 most important things.
 
As for healthy habits, that isn't always enough.

Merely visiting a website with one of the malicious fonts can infect your system (unless you got the patch last week). These don't necessarily have to be untrustworthy websites; otherwise reasonable sites can get compromised indirectly, maybe via hackers, maybe via their advertising network.
 
It's your computer, so use it however you like, but the best advice to give to people in general is not to run anything as administrator unless completely necessary.
