I am stuck on a test realm server and I downloaded your program that should disenable me from the test server but it just said something like 'TRYING TO RUN AS ADMIN' over and over again and i couldnt do anything on my computer so I had to restart it, so what do I do? ...

that is because editing the realmlist in its current position required admin privileges.

what you can do yourself , is type in password and hit enter and then hit escape to disconnect yourself.

try it a few times and hopefully you can get back to the realmselection screen.

Also deleting your WTF folder from the Nost wow directory will reset this. It stores your server location in the WTF folder so it auto picks what ever server you choose. Deleting this will fix your issue sir :).

What I actually do for a lot of games is create a folder in C:\ called "Public" (or "Applications" or whatever you want to call it), right click on it, go into properties, security, and give "Full control" permissions to every group/user name listed. I install any games that were made before around the time Vista came out (Vista introduced UAC and the VirtualStore) in this directory. Basically, any game that has issues with permissions. I also put any games that don't have an installer in this directory as well, as there's generally no good default place to place these and this is as good of a central location as any.

More advanced:
If you don't want to screw around in the "Security" tab and you don't mind programs only working on your Windows user account, you could instead make a folder like "Applications" in %userprofile% (C:\Users\<yourname>\). Or you could do it in C:\Users\Public and then it would be accessible to all users. There's no standard way of doing it and these would all work basically the same, it's just I find it's easier to find the C:\Public directory (plus it works with REALLY old games, like 1990s era or earlier, that have issues with long path names or spaces in path names).
