Running Programs as Administrator in Windows 7

April 12, 2010 Windows 7 Tips

A new feature has just been unveiled by Microsoft with regards to Windows Vista and Windows 7. This feature will separate the Administrators from the normal everyday users.

When a user attempts to run one program over and over, there will inevitably be a request for Admin privileges. I order to make it so a particular program always runs with Admin privileges – but with no more hassle of the continual notification message, follow the steps below:

  1. Right click on the program you wish to grant continual administrative privileges
  2. Go to >Properties< Compatibility Tab<
  3. At the end of the compatibility tab, you will find the following check box:
  4. >Run this program as an administrator<
  5. Just check the check box and click >OK< and then again >OK<.
  6. This will grant administrative privileges to that program permanently
  7. (See screenshot below for example)

Should you want to allow for Administrative privileges for all users of a computer system, simply do the following:

  1. Check out the >compatibility< tab and click on >Change settings for all users<
  2. Click on the check box which says: >Run this program as administrator<
  3. There you go – all programs should run as Administrator for all users now.
