Hi. Thank you for your question and reaching out. My name is John and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

For Python.exe, create a shortcut.
Modify the shortcut target to read C:xxx...python.exe your script.py instead.
In the shortcut's property panel, select "advance..." and then "run as administrator."
