Why is the administrator password asked each time UltraSearch is started?

Question / Problem

Why is the administrator password asked each time UltraSearch is started?

Answer / Solution

In order to quickly find files and folders on your hard drive, UltraSearch directly accesses the Master File Table of local NTFS partitions.
Administrator rights are required for this.
If you start UltraSearch as a restricted user without administrator rights, Windows displays User Account Control (UAC)  for entering an administrator account.
This is a Windows security measure over which we unfortunately have no influence.
UltraSearch can also be started without administrator rights. However, this means that the program no longer has access to the MFT, which can slow down the search.
