Running TileMill 0.9.0 on Windows 7, the UI fails to load from the shortcut normally. The cmd window pops up for 3/4 of a second then disappears.

Three solutions cause it to work:

1.) running TileMill from the shortcut as an administrator

2.) running
```> cd c:\Program Files (x86)\TileMill
> platforms\windows\run-tilemill.bat```

3.) running [This Series](https://gist.github.com/1711456)

TileMill worked as normal (without admin permission needed) at last boot two days ago, but this morning I attempted some git integration before launching TileMill. Specifically, I [cloned this repo](https://github.com/wboykinm/geosprocket-carto) into a parallel ```\My Documents\MapBox\project\``` folder called "project2". I then copied the subfolder "btv_cenblock" from "project2" into ```\My Documents\MapBox\project\```. Following this I tried to start TileMill and the above issue began. I suspect this is related but am not sure how.
