this seems to be broken when also using the open elevated command window tweak, it appears to not auto elevate correctly for some reason.

edit,

strange i must've been using an older version or something

Hello Danial,

Yes, you have a older version. The current download had been updated not to long ago to cleanly remove and replace the Open Command Window Here as Administrator context menu item. :)

i modified it some more to add the LUA shield to directories xD

elevated cmd windows im not to worried about, i can launch them from total commander just by running that elevated xD

Good idea. Updated downloads with to have the icon as well.

Does this replace the "Run as Administrator" option?

hmm, you're right, run as admin is broken D:

but i know i had a self elevating take ownership item that worked fine with the run as admin command not so long ago.

seems to be because it replaces the run as key for exe's.

i recommend removal of take ownership over exe files?
