The IT simply uggested that I create a desktop shortcut which states the name.pro file as the target.. It then can start the app

But the old shortcut which has the exe file as target still asks for user rights. Likewise starting the app from the Windows menu also asks for user rights

The stange thing is that after I installed v2.4.161 I could not open the name.pro file from ZTW but after we created the new shortcut on my desktop which had name.pro as the target I can now open from within ZTW...
