But, not quite, no program will now be able to find cmd.exe since it no longer exists. But fret not, open your shiny new renamed cmd and run this command: mklink 'C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe' 'C:WINDOWSsystem32cmdWithNewName.exe' Congrats, you now have a dummy cmd.exe that will point to your renamed exe that is always ran as administrator. May 20, 2017  I have installed windows 8, it seems, properly. I have created my administrator password and restarted the computer. Every time I sign in, it give me a command prompt instead of loading up my desktop. The Title of the form is 'Administrator: C:Windowssystem32cmd.exe' The command line is 'C:UsersAdministrator.

Because of Windows 10 security restrictions, I cannot run a software (WirelessModem.exe of D-Link) I used to run easily on Windows 8.1. However, I can run it from a CMD command prompt run under Administrator account. To make it convenient to open the software whenever I need it, I created a shortcut on my desktop, set it to run as administrator, set the target to 'C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe' and *Start in' to the location where my said software is located, as shown in the following screenshots. Nevertheless when I run this shortcut, UAC prompts for Administrator confirmation and when I hit OK, CMD opens with system32 path, rather than the location I specified earlier in shortcut properties, why?

Please note that creating direct shortcut to wirelessmodem.exe does bring up a pop-up in red notice reading 'This app has been blocked for your protection' so the only hack I know is to run wirelessmodem.exe from an admin CMD window. So, my main concern in this question is to start cmd in the location of the said app, not in Windows' system32.

1. The Start In: location is where CMD.exe would open, not a file it would execute.

2. Why not just use a shortcut to D-Link Connection Manager, set to Run as Administrator? Create the shortcut, right-click on it to select Properties, and use Advanced properties settings to set Run as Administrator, as below:

After the recent upgrade to Windows 10, the good ol' AppCompatFlags method no longer works. Which is something like this -

Realtek ac97 driver download xp. Is there any other way I can make command prompt run as admin by default? I'm not talking about the CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER to run as admin or through a shortcut as they are all very inconvenient.

(E.g. say when you SHIFT right click in a folder and open a new command prompt, it's not gonna run as admin by default and there's no way you can make it run with the privilage without editing the context menu.)

STEP 1

Open the Start menu and click All apps find the program you want to always run in administrator mode and right-click on the shortcut. Click the Open file location (only desktop programs will have this option)

STEP 2

A File Explorer window will open to the location of the program you want to access.

Right-click on the program and click Properties from the pop-up menu.

Actually, there is a way to do it:

1. You need to go to C:WINDOWSsystem32 and take ownership over cmd.exe. You can do it by Right click->Properties->Security->Advanced->Change (in blue with the shield icon).
2. Now you can give yourself access to modify it, or whatever you need to rename it.
3. Once you've done that, rename it to whatever you like.
4. You can access it's compatibility properties tab and tick 'Run as administrator'

Voila! Done!

mklink 'C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe' 'C:WINDOWSsystem32cmdWithNewName.exe'

Congrats, you now have a dummy cmd.exe that will point to your renamed exe that is always ran as administrator.

Remember to change the permissions on the new 'cmdWithNewName.exe' back to being only read & execute. After you've done that, you can change the owner of the file back to TrustedInstaller by entering 'NT SERVICETrustedInstaller' in the object name field where you originally took ownership of the file.

This locks the file from any further tampering, lessening the security risk.

After following the instructions above, making the program start in administrator mode by default, I added a shortcut key, CTRL + ALT + E to the properties options, works great.

If you are using Windows 10 File explorer, click on 'File' (left top corner) & mouse over 'Open Command Prompt'. There is an option to run as administrator.
