This is great. i changed it so it will always run as administrator but my problem is im making a virus scanner batch file for my buisness and i need to be able to use the SFC /SCANNOW scan from my batch file. So i would need to be able to change to properties to always run as admin through a batch command. im guessing theres no way but was wondering if anyone had any insight

Thanks a lot, because I’ve been to several sites and for some reason, there directions didn’t help. Your’s did perfectly without a hitch! I just wanted to do a defrag analysis and figured I’d get a GUI like in XP. NOT!! Thanks again!

Ha I was looking for the shortcut tab for ages – turns out I wasn’t following the instructions – it says command Prompt not cmd guess most were typing in cmd as well

It works but not 100%, do this and it works for 100%

start->allprograms->accessories-> richt click -> commandprompt

in the shortcut tablet -> advanced

select the Run as administrator checkbox

and then make a shortcut = start->allprograms->accessories-> richt click -> pin to startmenu

And now u can always click it and it run n admin mode

UAC sucks so much that I can not yet believe Microsoft have commited such an “awesome” feature ! This is madness.

Doesn’t work… I found it and clicked it, tried opening cmd and the prompt still came up. Might have something to do with the run as admin box in the comparability tab being greyed out.

When I run command prompt as an admin my screen just freezes with a gray tint over everything. The only option I have then is to con-alt-delete and either cancell or bringup the task manager, however there are no addional applications open and I cannot get into command prompt while running as an admin.
When I run it while not as an admin I get in fine, but I need to run
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
to clear the windows transaction log.
Help please.

I get the run as administrator box but it is in grey so I cannot click on “run as administrator” – how do I get it from grey so I can stop getting the EULA up every time. Thanks
