Could I force a program to always run as an administrator? Is it possible to automatically open a batch file as admin when you double-click on it? Many old programs need to be run as administrator in order to function properly on Windows 10 \/ 8 \/ 7. In this tutorial we’ll show you 4 methods to make your program always run as administrator by default.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Always Run as Administrator from Program Shortcut<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Right-click on the shortcut of your program, and then select Properties<\/strong> from the context menu.<\/li>\n
  2. In the Properties window, select the Shortcut<\/strong> tab, and click on the Advanced<\/strong> button.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. Check the box next to Run as administrator<\/strong> and click OK<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  4. Every time you double-click the shortcut it will always run your program as administrator by default.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 2: Always Run as Administrator in Compatibility Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Right-click on your application or its shortcut, and then select Properties<\/strong> in the context menu.<\/li>\n
    2. Under the Compatibility<\/strong> tab, check the “Run this program as an administrator<\/strong>” box and click OK<\/strong>.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n

    3. From now on, double-click on your application or shortcut and it should automatically run as administrator.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Method 3: Always Run as Administrator Using Registry Hack<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Open the Registry Editor and browse to the following key:
        \nHKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\AppCompatFlags\\Layers<\/code><\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        \tRight-click blank area in the right pane, and then select New<\/strong> -> String Value<\/strong>.<\/li>\n

      2. Rename the String value to the full path of the program you want to always run as administrator, and then double-click it to modify.\n

        \"\"\n<\/li>\n

      3. Type ~ RUNASADMIN<\/strong> in the “Value data” field and click OK<\/strong>.\n

        \"\"\n<\/li>\n

      4. Close Registry Editor. The program will now open in administrator mode when you double-click it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Method 4: Create a Batch to Always Run Program as Administrator<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Open Notepad (or your favorite text editor), copy and paste the following batch script:\n
          @echo off\r\n\r\n:: BatchGotAdmin\r\n:-------------------------------------\r\nREM  --> Check for permissions\r\n>nul 2>&1 \"%SYSTEMROOT%\\system32\\cacls.exe\" \"%SYSTEMROOT%\\system32\\config\\system\"\r\n\r\nREM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.\r\nif '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (\r\n    echo Requesting administrative privileges...\r\n    goto UACPrompt\r\n) else ( goto gotAdmin )\r\n\r\n:UACPrompt\r\n    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^(\"Shell.Application\"^) > \"%temp%\\getadmin.vbs\"\r\n    set params = %*:\"=\"\"\r\n    echo UAC.ShellExecute \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Top Password\\ISO2Disc.exe\", \"\", \"\", \"runas\", 1 >> \"%temp%\\getadmin.vbs\"\r\n\r\n    \"%temp%\\getadmin.vbs\"\r\n    del \"%temp%\\getadmin.vbs\"\r\n    exit \/B\r\n\r\n:gotAdmin\r\n    pushd \"%CD%\"\r\n    CD \/D \"%~dp0\"\r\n:--------------------------------------<\/div><\/pre>\n
          \"\"<\/p>\n
           \tThe above script will make the ISO2Disc<\/a> utility to always run as administrator. You need to replace the full path of ISO2Disc with your desired application.<\/li>\n
        2. Next, save the file by clicking File<\/strong> -> Save<\/strong>. Give it any name you like, but replace the default .txt file extension with the .bat<\/strong> extension.\n
          \"\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
        3. Now, double-click the batch file and it will then launch your program as administrator.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
