    No, it’s not.

    What you’re talking about is UAC flipping out because you double clicked on something and it want’s admin privilege (the GUI equivalent of what bioemerl talked about).

    I’m talking about exactly what bioemerl was: You open cmd window, try to run a command and it bitches that you need admin rights, as an admin. So, you have to go back, search for cmd, then select the option: Run as administrator.

      That’s because too many virus infections have started with admins launching things as admin by default

      Use one of the elevate as admin scripts

      Can’t you check the “run as administrator” box in the properties? Then it runs as admin every time.
