When I create a shortcut to a *.BTM file, I go into advanced, but it does not let me select "run as administrator". Is there a way around this?
run as administrator
- Thread starter Roedy
- Start date
One way ... put the EXE name in the target of the shortcut. Then you'll have the "run as admin" option. For example,
Code:
Target: g:\tc22\tcc.exe [/k | /c] [path\]file.btm
Which page you are trying to change it on? There's two places in shortcut, where you could do it.
On the "Shortcut" tab - to change shortcut properties.
On the "Compatibility" tab - to change properties OF THE PROGRAM ITSELF. This is not possible for documents for obvious reasons.
Not here, also Win 7 x86.
I have these. What do you have Charles?

C:\>It's the existence of a SHELL\RUNAS key which lets you choose "Run as administrator" in a shortcut to a .BTM. See my previous post.
And you have that key, Charles D. So you could "Run as administrator".

Looks like those verbs are from RegTweaks.btm - but I am still unclear about the line the following line:
JP shell version : REG_SZ : C:\Bin\TCmd19\TCC.EXE 19.02
JP shell version : REG_SZ : C:\Bin\TCmd19\TCC.EXE 19.02
This command, run elevated by the TCC you want to handle BTMs, works here.
Here's what it does (before/after).
Code:
reg add HKCR\%@assoc[.btm]\SHELL\RUNAS\COMMAND /ve /d "\"%_cmdspec\" /c \"%%1\" %%*"I set it for the right-click menu. Had no idea it also affected the operation of shortcuts!
Also from RegTweaks. Purely for use by RegTweaks, to avoid replacing a newer version of the debugger with an older version.
Thank you Charles. What is the line number and contents from RegTweaks that generates that line please? The one I have is:
Date/time: 1/5/[email protected]:04pm
Size: 25.2 KB (25,852 bytes)
Is that your latest version?

The version I'm looking at is dated 2016-01-26. Don't know whether I ever distributed this one or not.
Which line are you asking about, the "JP shell version" line, or the RunAs line? The former is created by a subroutine called add_debug_verb. RunAs is created just before the Edit and Print verbs.
The output from a PDIR of regtweaks. is yours different? If it is - be great to have the updated copy...
Vince, I have it as "prospero.unm.edu\RegTweaks.btm" - i have attached mine at the BTM..... the TXT is for Charles.

Would you elaborate on this please? you are just setting the value - not testing it ....... at least in my version
Thank you. After sorting the FTP listing by date - why are so many files timed as 12:00:00 AM? Looks like you did a lot of trimming on the new RegTweaks... have to look at it more closely
I really don't know. It may be CoreFTP doing that. Files uploaded by TCC have more reasonable time stamps.
Whatever caused it - all files on or before [9/19/2017 12:00:00 AM], no middle files, then files on or after [10/12/2017 10:57:00 AM] are all not midnight or noon. Do you kmnow if you did something different between those dates?
Older files were bulk-copied from an earlier version of Prospero, using CoreFTP or some other free FTP software -- I really don't remember the details. Newer files were uploaded individually, as available, by a TCC batch file.
Nice find. Indeed, I have no "run as administrator" on the BTM links. Somehow it did not appear to me, that all the .lnk I was inspecting were direct links to tcc-rt.exe, not to the corresponding BTM.
