Setting Default File Opening with Admin Privileges
On Windows operating system, if you log in as a User with Administrator role, you'll have full control over the system. However, for non-Administrator users, running certain programs may result in 'Access Denied' or 'No Permission' messages. So, how can you run software without being granted permission? This article by Mytour will provide answers and guidance on setting the default, unrestrictive opening of files with Admin privileges.
Guide to Setting Default File Opening with Admin Privileges
Firstly, let's understand what opening files with 'Run as Administrator' entails.
Administrator is the highest account in Windows, granting control over system-wide changes and file access.
When operating in standard user mode, opening files only grants permissions within that user's scope. Running as Administrator provides Super Admin privileges. To execute certain software, you'll need an admin's password.
To expedite tasks and avoid the hassle of right-clicking and selecting 'Run as administrator,' Mytour presents 2 methods for your convenience:
Method 1: Right-click on the shortcut or executable file of the program you want to open and select Properties.
In the Properties window, navigate to the Compatibility tab. Check the box Run this program as an administrator and click OK.
Method 2: Utilize advanced settings for shortcuts.
Right-click on the shortcut or executable file of the program you want to open and select Properties.
In the Properties window, go to the Shortcut tab. Click on Advanced...
