run as administrator

Roedy · Mar 30, 2018

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?

vefatica · Mar 30, 2018

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

That's odd. It works as expected for me. Windows 7 x86:

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.

Anything special about your system? Corporate managed global policy lists?

vefatica · Apr 1, 2018

Joe Caverly and AnrDaemon ... is "Run as administrator" available in your BTM's properties?

vefatica · Apr 1, 2018

After I added the "Runas" subkey (plus its contents, see below) "Run as administrator" became available in the shortcut's properties.

Code:

v:\> regdir /v /d HKCR\tcc.batch
HKCR\tcc.batch
   : REG_SZ : TCC BTM File
  SHELL
    OPEN
      COMMAND
         : REG_SZ : "G:\tc22\tcc.exe" /c "%1" %*

Why the line that starts "JP Shell version : " ??

vefatica · Apr 2, 2018

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".

Charles G · Apr 2, 2018

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

vefatica · Apr 2, 2018

This command, run elevated by the TCC you want to handle BTMs, works here.

Code:

reg add HKCR\%@assoc[.btm]\SHELL\RUNAS\COMMAND /ve /d "\"%_cmdspec\" /c \"%%1\" %%*"

Here's what it does (before/after).

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 Purely for use by RegTweaks, to avoid replacing a newer version of the debugger with an older version.

Charles G · Apr 2, 2018

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?

vefatica · Apr 2, 2018

Where's RegTweaks.btm? I've never used it. I got the RUNAS idea from the "batfile" entries.

Charles Dye · Apr 2, 2018

Charles G said:

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.

Charles G · Apr 2, 2018

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.

Charles G · Apr 2, 2018

Charles Dye said:

Would you elaborate on this please? you are just setting the value - not testing it ....... at least in my version

Charles Dye · Apr 2, 2018

Charles G said:

Okay; I've uploaded it as ftp://prospero.unm.edu/RegTweaks.btm

Charles G · Apr 2, 2018

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

Charles Dye · Apr 2, 2018

Charles G said:

I really don't know. It may be CoreFTP doing that. Files uploaded by TCC have more reasonable time stamps.

Charles G · Apr 2, 2018

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?

Charles Dye · Apr 2, 2018

Charles G said:

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.

run as administrator
