Thanks Steve. Ryan - see scook's comment just before mine.

I am logged into my computer as a user with Administrator privileges (I set up myself this way on my computer). So if my user account is an Administrator, how to do I *not* run Sonar as an Admin? Seems counter-intuitive to me...

That is different than using THE administrator ID or explicitly running a program as administrator as described in my previous post.

The fact that 'you' are running as administrator does not mean that your applications will automatically launch in administrator mode. It does affect permissions. Just follow the advice given. Windows 101...

I've been a professional Windows admin for almost 20 years so I know all about User Accounts and Access control. I just never realized Sonar was so finicky. Windows 10 with Sonar is the first time I've ever encountered this issue.

It's no different in Windows 7. Drag & drop doesn't work in Sonar if you run as Admin, and certain plugins (e.g. Sampletank) don't work unless you are running Sonar as Admin.
