Running Elevated

[CWBillow]

Is there a way to have TCC run with Admin privileges when run either from the Quick Launch bar and/or from a context menu?

Is there a way to have TCC run with Admin privileges when run either from the Quick Launch bar and/or from a context menu?

Shortcuts have a setting that can be changed to make any program run with elevated privileges.

If by context menu you mean the context menu of the shortcut, then there should be a run as option there already.

If by context menu you mean the context menu of a drive, folder or file that is associated with TCC, then I am unaware of a way to do this.

However, if you run Take Command with elevated privileges, then all processes launched by it should inherit the same privileges. Which is why I have a scheduled task that runs Take Command automatically with elevated privileges after I log on. I then leave it running and launch new tabs via the same Take Command window and have single instance option turned on. This works quite well on Vista and Server 2008, and is of course unnecessary on XP and 2003 unless logged in as a limited user.

It's unrelated to TCC (which like every other Windows app can't control
its startup privileges).

In Vista you can right click on the quick launch icon and select "Run as
administrator".

just my two centsbumpWhen you came into the world, she held you in her arms.　　You thanked her by weeping your eyes out.　　When you were 1 year old, she fed you and bathed you.　　You thanked her by crying all night long.　　When you were 2 years old, she taught you to walk.　　You thanked her by running away when she called.　　When you were 3 years old, she made all your meals with love.　　You thanked her by tossing your plate on the floor.　　When you were 4 years old, she gave you some crayons.　　You thanked her by coloring the dining room table.　　When you were 5 years old, she dressed you for the holidays.　　You thanked her by plopping into the nearest pile of mud.　　When you were 6 years old, she walked you to school.　　You thanked her by screaming, “I'm not going!”　　When you were 7 years old, she bought you a baseball.　　You thanked her by throwing it through the next-door-neighbor's window.　　When you were 8 years old, she handed you an ice cream.　　You thanked her by dripping it all over your lap.　　When you were 9 years old, she paid for piano lessons.　　You thanked her by never even bothering to practice.　　When you were 10 years old, she drove you all day, from soccer to gymnastics to one birthday party after another.　　You thanked her by jumping out of the car and never looking back.　　When you were 11 years old, she took you and your friends to the movies.　　You thanked her by asking to sit in a different row.　　When you were 12 years old, she warned you not to watch certain TV shows.　　You thanked her by waiting until she left the house.Thsale is a professional, loyal and reliable wow gold supplier online, we pioneered selling cheap wow gold.
