elevated command prompt fails
If i try and use cmd from within the start menu ,in accessories and right click ,then "Run as administrator",all i am granted is normal cmd usage e.g(C:\Users\(User Name ).Now,i then pinned cmd to the start menu and again i tried to "run as administrator",but this time cmd fails to open at all.
The only way i am able to run cmd with administrator access is by using the start search box and entering cmd from there ,and right click ,run as administrator!
very strange ?

I have set my command prompt from the start menu to ALWAYS run as administrator:
Start menu
command prompt
right click
properties
shortcut
advanced
put a check in "run as adminstrator" checkbox.
I dunno about getting that to the taskbar. Maybe it is doable? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one
