Edit with Vim context menu on windows 7

Hi

I'm using Vim 7.3 with Windows 7 64bit
I have a problem - I would like to edit files in
"program files" and "windows" directories - it requires admin rights due to UAC.
Ok, I right-click on Vim icon and select "run as administrator", select a file and edit. Everything works fine.

Bu this is really annoying so I've checked "Run as administrator" in program options.
Now, if I select a file and click "Edit with Vim" message box appears:
"gvimext.dll error
Error creating process: Check if gvim is in your path!"

Running gvim alone comes with no error as above.

If I uncheck "Run as administrator" everything works - with context menu too.
But I cant edit files that require admin rights - opening vim stand-alone in admin mode and searching the file is not a solution.


Thanks
