[Solved] Shortcuts from start to 'Run as administrator' don't work (Win 8.1 x64)

<< < (2/10) > >>

jraju:
When you double click the program just press Ctrl and Shift, It will run as administrator. Try this. Is this what you want? If you are having problem in the exe, then this will not work even for normal clicks

Boggin:
I'm not sure if either of these articles will help, but each has a performance troubleshooting link which normally checks for broken shortcuts which may reinstate the admin option.

If the icon cache has become corrupt, then this article may help http://www.thewindowsclub.com/rebuild-the-icon-cache-windows

Hi jraju, this happens:
At search cmd:

double left click: runs normal
double left click with ctr+shift: nothing
right click, choose run as admin: nothing

'open file location' (AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs):
double left click: runs normal
double left click with ctr+shift: runs normal
right click, choose run as admin: nothing

In C:\Windows\System32:
double left click: runs normal
double left click with ctr+shift: runs normal
right click, choose run as admin: runs as admin

I would only like this: At search cmd:
double left click: runs normal
right click, choose run as admin: runs as admin


Hi Boggin,

These articles contain several links, I couldn't find any reference to shortcuts or admin rights though. Which should I try?

jraju:
pl try this
ctrl shift and enter

George:
'open file location' takes me to AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
If, in case of cmd, I click 'open file location' again, I get to the System32 folder, where my problematic point works well. Couldn't we repair the shortcuts to  ....Start Menu/Programs?
