dbminter Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Is there a way I can edit the shortcut for Command Prompt so that it always open elevated, as an administrator? The way I do it now is I have to right click on the shortcut and choose Run as administrator. Idiotic fuckers at Microsoft! The ONLY time you ever run a Command Prompt is to ALWAYS run commands that you need elevated privileges for! So, Command Prompt should ALWAYS fun elevated by default!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Right click it, properties, shortcut tab, Advanced button, Run as administrator. That may work
dbminter Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks! That worked. I somehow overlooked that option when I checked the shortcut properties before I posted this thread. I didn't even find it under Security, which makes the most sense, to me, probably, where it should be.
dbminter Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 Do you happen to know if this advance setting is saved in the shortcut itself or only in Windows? I ask because I think I had this setting in the shortcut options before on other versions of Windows. I've used the same shortcuts across different versions of Windows because I have actually nerd tweaked my Windows so that the Start Menu is saved on a USB HDD. (Along with my Desktop. ) So, in theory, if I did set this option already, which I think I did, it wasn't saved in the shortcut itself. This may mean that the option is stored in the Registry for this shortcut instead. Is that such a thing?
