Some people using Windows always sit on admin rights. Do I really have to read this notification each time I run the client? I don't even know how to run it not as admin.

Can't we have a checkbox for "Don't show again"?

Users should not be running the application as admin as this could cause eventual permission and security issues. The warning will not be removed or reduced.

What kind of security issues? Maybe the message should say about them instead.

I also have this notification and its annoying.

I only have an admin acount on my windows and can't change it without loosing my custom HDD file system.
And in case i know the risc (error [13] permission denied...) i would like to disable this warning.
It has no meaning for me. And i will never get this [13] error when i always start the client as admin.

And a check box that doesn't show it again does not detract from the reason this message was created in the first place.
Its only a warning that something could go wrong when you start the client as admin and after this as user.
No reason to nag me til the end of my life.
