How to let standard user run an application that asks for administrator previleges

Question

I have an application that asks for adminin previleges to run on a user account with standard previleges on a Windows 7 OS. Assuming that there is no way of him knowing the Admin password what would be the best solution to bypass this problem?

My kids record in-game video for some of their games using Bandicam, which requires admin permissions to run. I use RunasSpc to launch the program as administrator.

I configured a RunasSpc instance specifically for Bandicam, and gave the kids a desktop shortcut that kicks off the RunasSpc process and initiates Bandicam startup.

Once an admin sets up RunasSpc, using it is literally so simple that a 6-year-old can do it.
