Hey all,
So following the regedit way, I'm trying to get OpenVPN to run as admin automatically. The entry changes the .exe to run as admin under compatibility but it does not work as needed.
When running it I get - The requested operation requires elevation (this is to change some routing through windows to properly connect to our network).
When I right click run as admin it works properly. Also works as needed when I physically add the run as admin through the properties -> compatibility.
Odd yes?
The point of getting it through regedit is I'm going to have the changes done through a .bat script so users in my office just run the script and they don't have to worry about having to right click to run or change the properties of the .exe themselves.
Any ideas?
Hello eferris, and welcome to Seven Forums.
This has happened to another user as well, and the solution was to add the registry entries to both HCU and HKLM locations in the registry. Hopefully it will work for you as well. :)
(Option 3): Compatibility Mode
it is possible to run all *.exe files as adminstrator, just for once setting
please help, thanks
Hello Ardy,
Sure. You could enable and log on to the built-in Administrator account. Anything you run in this account will run as administratror (elevated). It's not recommended to do though for security reasons.
Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable
Hello Brian, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You should be able to use the method in the tutorial below to do so. You'll have to use the built-in Administrator account to be able to set the shortcut up.

Hope this helps, :)

Hi All
A member of staff has downloaded a trial version of Freedom and I've installed it on his machine. The person doesn't have admin rights to this machine so I've followed the instructions (Option 5 - Run as administrator using compatibility mode). Logged in as the non admin account I've entered in the local administrator account details when clicking on "Change settings for all users" but each time he opens Freedom on the desktop it's always prompting for the admin password.
Is there anyway this program can run without admin rights? The machine is running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit version.
