"SONAR will now personalize..." frequently appears when launching X2 with a shortcut key

Almost every time I launch X2 by hitting a shortcut key (I use Ctrl+F10) this "SONAR will now personalize your user settings by copying application data files" warning message appears. It never appears when I double-click the X2 icon on the desktop or click the X2 icon on the start menu. I've been using this shortcut key for quite a while now, but the message only started appearing after I recently upgraded from Win 7 32-bit to 64-bit (when I first launched X2 after the OS upgrade I allowed the program to do this personalization already).
 
Anyone knows what the cause is?
 
Thanks

    Is it possible that you are running a 32-bit Sonar via the shortcut key?
     
    Check the program path in the shortcut, and make sure it is going to program files, and not program files (x86).

    It could be that the shortcut is not running Sonar as administrator

    Try using a shortcut that doesn't involve the ctrl key, that's the mod that triggers sonars repersonalisation copy, isnt it?

    Thanks all!
     
    @Bob:
    I checked the program path in the shortcut just in case, and no, it's not going to Program Files x86 (come to think of it, I didn't install the 32-bit version).
     
    @John:
    The shortcut is indeed NOT running Sonar as administrator, but that is because I read in the X1/X2 reference guides that Sonar doesn't need to be run as administrator anymore (I admit I know little about PC settings and don't know the advantages/disadvantages of running a program as administrator. One thing I noticed when I didn't ran another daw as administrator is that it failed to detect IK Multimedia plugins). Anyway, I just checked the Run as Administrator in the shortcut and now it seems this personalization message stopped appearing. But I need a few days to be sure it's really gone. When I was on the 32-bit OS I never ran Sonar as administrator but didn't get this message so often (only once in a blue moon). Strange.
     
    @lawp:
    As I said, I've been using Ctrl+F10 for quite a while (more than a year) to launch Sonar and rarely saw the message to appear. But I just changed the shortcut key to just F10 and launched X2 (disabling the Run as Administrator) and it also stopped showing the personalization message. But again, I need a few days to be sure and determine what the real cause was. I think the mod that triggers repersonalization is hold CTRL+SHIFT and double-click on the SONAR icon, no? That's what tech support told me.
     
    Thanks all again. :)

    Tak T.

    Yeah, this does sound like an Administrator issue.
