Run As Admin disappeared

I start using Vista just a short while and have done some networking, big fuss.
Starting nowhere, I found that the "Run As Administrator" option
disappeared, no matter I right-click on anything (on both the wired
destop-Vista Business and the wireless laptop-Vista Home Premiun). Both
machines have only 1 account.
Does it mean that I'm always on Running As Administrator, so that I don't
have to choose that option when share something or work on some programs?
Have I done something unintentionally?
Thanks in advance.

Well, by design all user accounts on Windows Vista are setup as Standard
Administrator, unless you setup a Limited User Account yourself. Run as
Administrator does not apply to all applications unless it does not adhere
entirely to the new security priviledges in Vista. Could you tell us some of
applications you are missing it on?

Sorry I'm not sitting at the office now. So I can't tell exactly.
But rather, at home, my PC runs on XP. It does the same thing as those 2 on
Vista at the office. No matter I right-click on any program or file, the "Run
As Adminstrator" is not there. It used to be next to "Sharing and
Security...", if I remember correctly.
I think they all happened after I set up the networks and files and printer
sharing. Both home and office networks were set up about the same time. I
must did something I did not know.

In XP its called elevated priviledges which also exist in Vista as Run as
Administrator under Standard Administrator and Limited User accounts
depending on the application that requires it.

All the PCs have only 1 user (Administrator). So I don't see what related to
the concern.
Thanks

So, you're saying RAA option is missing from any file on the current machine
you're logged on. I am not talking about you being logged on to one machine
and trying to access another machine on the network and using RAA.

That's correct.
