I've seen quite a few legacy Windows app needing to be run as administrator, compatibility mode, or both. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. It's glaringly irresponsible that applications should be given read/write access to the C:\Windows folder because that was acceptable in the 90s.
Now when I get an exe that needs to run in compatibility mode I don't even bother with it. I'm not compromising my computer because a developer has abandoned their software.
