How to open command prompt as administrator (because MKlink command): | |
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30480228/run-command-to-open-command-prompt-as-administrator | |
Create "admin-prompt.lnk", | |
I put it in a folder in my Windows path (for example): C:\UTILS\ | |
------------------------------------------------------------ | |
1) Create a shortcut: | |
Right-click on your desktop (or elsewhere) to create a link („New Shortcut“). | |
Aka a .lnk file with an exceptionally well hidden extension. | |
2) Enter Location (C:\UTILS\admin-prompt.lnk) | |
( /k and what follows is just optional inspiration, | |
if you like a directory switch and listing to start with) | |
Target: | |
%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /k "cd C:\UTILS\ & dir /B" | |
3) Name shortcut. | |
let say... | |
admin-prompt | |
4) admin properties: | |
Open admin-prompt(.lnk) file properties , Shortcut Tab, Advanced: | |
[x] Run as administrator | |
5) Copy the generated admin-prompt² into a directory, | |
somewhere in your path. (C:\Windows\System32, if you are out of inspiration) | |
--> | |
C:\UTILS\ | |
6) Here you go :-) | |
Run: Win-R, admin-prompt | |
("admin-prompt.lnk", I put it in a folder in my Windows path (for example): C:\UTILS\) | |
7) Optional : | |
Revisit the properties of your admin-prompt Link, | |
colors tab and style the background to a mild red, | |
so you can distinguish regular and admin prompts on your screen... | |
(lenght, buffer, font-size, and so on.) | |
------------------------------------------------------------ | |
If you want to change shortcut properties: | |
File Explorer | |
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/find-and-open-file-explorer-ef370130-1cca-9dc5-e0df-2f7416fe1cb1 | |
press the Windows logo key + E on your keyboard | |
C:\UTILS\admin-prompt.lnk | |
Right Click on shortcut, chose Properties. | |
