Allow a user account to play games without admin password

I have set up a user account on Vista Business and would like to allow
my younger brother to play his Rail Sim game without have to enter my
password into the UAC prompt. I have tried the Microsoft Application
Compatibility Toolkit with no luck. Giving him the admin password would
negate the parent controls and I do not want him to have to call every
time he wants to play his Rail Sim. Thank you.
