Change Privs on program so all can use - presently needs admin rights - Windows 2008 R2

Greetings, 

I have Windows 2008 R2 server and a program that I would like some users to be able to run (monitors printing accounts).

Previously on Windows 2003 it was not a problem.  Now when the users log into RDP they cannot access the program.  It pops open a log in window and wants admin rights.  

I tried properties on the exe file and making it Run As Administrator.  I tried adding a Security Group to AD and giving access to the user group and putting the SG on the security of the program.  No go.

I saw on suggestion to use Regedit and:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

Change the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin from "2" to "0". (mine was actually set at 5).  But not sure I should do this as could it now open up too much?

I have not changed the UAC at all, again not wanting to let to much security lapse.

Thanks in advance,
SteetHockeyFan
