Just curious...is there a way to stop a program from asking for the admin password every time I open it?

Which OS?
This happens usually in Linux, sometimes Apple (Mac OS), and if you really are crazy to configure Windows policies.
Also what program?

That game doesn't ask for the admin password when you start it. It does however ask you to log-in as it is an online game (mmo type game).

Yes it does lol....Every single time I open it I have to enter the admin username and password.

Can not say I have ever run into that problem. And I had that game when it was originally paid only (and later when it was free to play as well).
Maybe worth asking about this on their support forum.

Well I can't do that now. I don't have SWTOR installed ATM. My computer got screwed so the tech guy at my school fixed it. Lost all my files. 
I'm going to install it when I get home. SWTOR is blocked at my school

By using the application compatibility toolkit for windows you can create a shim to trick the system into thinking you are an admin when you open the application even if you are not and you can do this without having to completely disable UAC.

If a program was not per-se following the Microsoft certification process to be a Windows application, you'll usually get that prompt cause it requires admin privileges.
