Run All Programs As Administrator?

Dec 11, 2013

is there an option to set default launching mode for all applications including any installed in future to run as administrator (identical to selecting Run as administrator from context menu)?

Although I can set up this permanently for an existing executable or shortcut, this is hardly possible doing for any installed program. I know this was possible somehow under Windows 7, all programs launch with admin rights and the superfluous option was removed from context menu.

Setting Default Programs In Windows 8 Not Working Right

Jul 29, 2013

It was working before today all of a sudden every time I open a pic Windows asks me what program I want to open it with, WD (which is a Western Digital Metro App that I don't know how it got installed), or Paint, or Windows Photo Viewer.

So I choose Windows Photo Viewer but everytime I open a pic it asks me the same thing ....

So I went to my program defaults but when I try to make Windows Photo Viewer the default app, it only makes 8 out of 12 extensions the same and not any more ....

I uninstalled that stupid WD metro app but it's still the same ....

Same thing with MPC-HC when I make it default nothing happens, it has 0 out of 112 extensions that it can't associate with ....

Reset Sizes Via Windows To Default Settings For All Programs

Sep 15, 2014

Some of the taskbar menus have appeared to have shrunk in size, especially on chrome. I fiddled with the sizing of my windows in the Personalization menu in Windows but this doesn't seem to have fixed it. On chrome m tabs are smaller and the text and buttons on websites and address bar are smaller as well. Skype and Word seem to be okay.

Or I could be losing my mind. Is there a way to reset all sizes via Windows to their default settings for all programs?

I did install Rainmeter last night but I don't think it has anything to do with it.

How To Add File Extension To The List In Control Panel / Default Programs

Feb 16, 2014

I'd like to add a file extension to the list given in Control Panel/Default Programs. In WinXP it was really easy but I hardly needed to use it as there seemed to be a lot more extensions available anyway back then. Unbelievably, (well, to me anyway), MS seem to have omitted '.flac'. How do I go about it?

Apps / Software :: Missing Some Programs In Programs And Features?

Apr 2, 2014

Recently my mom visited a website that tricked her. She downloaded and installed some stuff she didn't need. I removed the stuff but noticed some other problems. I'm not sure if these are new problems caused by the useless stuff she installed.

Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features is not showing all installed programs. Oddly, the only listed installed programs have names that start with the letter M. 14 programs are listed. See picture. Start Menu -> All Programs -> I suspect some programs are missing. I have a Win 7 style Start menu because I am using IObit's Start Menu 8 program. Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools was empty. I fixed that by using SFC /SCANNOW.

I tried using System Restore to go back to an earlier date, but that didn't work. In the process of trying to do that I discovered that BitDefender Internet Security 2014 doesn't get along with Windows 8.1's System Restore feature. I uninstalled BitDefender and successfully went back to an earlier date but still had the same problems with missing programs. I undid the restore. I created a new Windows user account. The new account had the same issues: missing programs in the Start menu and Programs and Features menu.

Always Run EXE File As Administrator

Dec 22, 2013

I know of the basic way to make a program run as an admin (rightclick, Properties -> Compatibility - > Run this program as an administrator)

Prob I have found out, If I put the .exe on another site for someone to download, when they download it to their PC, or if I just simply move the .EXE to another part of the PC, the admin rights are taken off.

If there a way to keep the "Always run as an administrator" on there at all times.

Run As Administrator Without Password

Jun 5, 2014

I think you know the function right click on a file and use "run as administrator". The file will run with administrator rights (without asking for a password).

Another way is to set the funktion "run as administrator" in the shortcut. Will you use the "run as" funktion in a dos box you need a password for the administrator account. But I will not insert a pw, i will use it like right click "run as administrator" but without a right click

For example:

runas /noprofile /user:administrator cmd.exe

i will not use a password!

Jul 27, 2014

I am really annoyed by one error I keep getting. I was just about to develop a website from the scratch so just wanted to have everything setup before starting.

How To Sign Out Of Administrator Account

Dec 18, 2012

Win 8 Pro x64. I had to use my Administrator account today and then returned to my named Local/Admin one. Now, when I go to reboot, Windows gives a message that "Other people are logged on to this computer. Restarting Windows might cause them to lose data." What I don't find is a way to sign out of that Admin account. Is there, short of disabling it? Seems sort of a Catch-22.

Administrator Rights Error Messages?

Mar 24, 2014

Win 8.1 Pro x64, single-user computer. I don't know if it started with updating from 8 to 8.1 in December, but roughly since then I've getting been a fair number of error messages while saving or changing a program's default setting, saying directly or indirectly that I need administrator rights to do the operation. My user account is Standard and shows me as Administrator, and everywhere I look says I am Administrator with full administrator rights. Yet, as the screenshots below show, I now can't save to the system drive (C:) and can't even uncheck the default file manager setting within the XYplorer, my normal file manager. The other day I couldn't save an extracted folder under in its intended program folder in Program Files (x86), something I did numerous times with new versions of the same program under Win 8 and Win 7. What is the way to overcome this?

Accounts :: How To Create Administrator Account

Jul 9, 2013

So I was selling my computer to my grandmother, and my dad took it over to her house to set it up. He somehow managed to completely lock everything down. He created an account for her, but we never once were able to log into it. But he also deactivated me as an administrator.

So now I have my computer back, and I am trying to set up the accounts, but I cannot do anything as I am no longer an admin. From what I have gathered, im up the creek without a paddle!

How do I create an administrator account without an admin accoutn already in place?

I have a game file that I have deleted/modified many, many times with no problem and now it seems I don't have permission to do so.

It shows that I have "Full Control" over the file.

But when I try to delete the file I get:
