Windows Vista: Run shortcut as Administrator
July 19, 2008
Along the same lines as the last post, here’s how to run a shortcut as Administrator either on-demand, or by default.
1. On-Demand
This one is pretty straightforward - right-click on any shortcut and choose “Run as Administrator”
2. By Default
A little more complicated, but only just a bit…
- Open the shortcut’s properties dialog.
- Choose the shortcut tab, then click “Advanced…”
- Check “Run as administrator”
- Hit OK on each of the dialogs to close them.
Now, this shortcut will always run in an Administrator role, similar to su or sudo on Unix/Linux.
There ye be. =)
