I have a compiled Java Application (.jar file extension, no source code) which will not function correctly without read/write permissions. How do it get it to run with these administrator permissions?
EDIT: This is being run in Windows 7.
This appears to be a question of Windows 7 security, rather than Java security. Java JAR by default have full access that the OS allows.
Can you not create a shortcut and run it as administrator or start a prompt as administrator and run the jar from this prompt. If you have a service, you can set it up to run as administrator.
