Well, I no longer need to right-click on the shortcut and click "Run as administrator" or go into the properties and set it to always run as an administrator. On the other hand, it still brings up the User Account Control prompt, so it technically still is being run in administrative mode. However, I suppose this really can't be helped since registry entries are being edited, although I am wondering why FAM didn't require administrative rights.
Also, a note to 64-bit Windows users: Make sure to change the launch directory from "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE".
