I’m trying to get set-acl to always run a program as an administrator ?
Is there any way to translate all the files and settings of a program run as a standard user to an administrator, saving from re-installing and configuring the program when started as an administrator ?
If I understand it properly, you are trying to use Set-ACL cmdlet to set <some property> of files so that when ever the program opens all associated files are opens as admin ? so it would be some common setting (may be a registry key) or file property in Windows, If that setting is known, then it can be done via PowerShell.

The program has to also be run as an Administrator along with all associated files; since I can’t isolate specific files within the program.
