Often, novice users start having problems because they cannot run some program or file that requires administrator rights in the system. In fact, running as administrator is not out of the ordinary, and in most cases is pretty straightforward. There are two ways to run games or programs with administrator rights: either you give your entire account, or you just run its file with the appropriate system privileges. First, you need to understand the administration settings, for which you will need to do some "magic passes".

So, running as an XP administrator is as follows. Click on the coveted "Start" button and find the item "Control Panel" there. We are looking for there "User Account Management", and then click on the user icon. If you are an administrator, there will be a corresponding inscription next to it.

What about Windows 7? Running as administrator on this operating system is just as easy. In the same way, find the same "Control Panel" and find the item with there, then click on it. At the end, you should also click on your username.

If your Account is not administrative, you will have to work a little on fixing this annoying error. To do this, you need to change the record type to administrator. In the same one that opens by clicking with the name of your account, find the item "Change the type of your account." By clicking on it, you will be taken to the next settings window, in which you need to check the box next to the type that you need.

Everything. From now on, launching as an administrator in most cases will happen automatically and without your participation. But if not, then what to do then? Oh, even in this case, you should not expect any special difficulties.

In good old XP, you need to perform the following manipulations. You should hold down the Shift button on the keyboard, and then right-click on the program shortcut or on the executable file, and then in the drop-down context menu you will need to find the "Run as" item. Click on this item to select an administrator entry. If this account is protected by a password, then launching as an administrator will be possible only if you know it. In older versions of the Windows family, things are still simpler.

So in Windows Vista, 7 & 8 do the following. Right-click on the file or program shortcut, and then select Properties from the pop-up context menu. There is a tab with the name "Compatibility" that you need to look for at the top of the window. In it you need to find the item "Level of rights". Immediately below it there is an empty checkbox "Run this program as administrator", which must be filled in by clicking on it with the left button of your "rodent". After that click on the "OK" button.

As you can see, running as administrator is pretty straightforward.

Does the application require access to administrator rights? We will tell you about how to run as administrator any program using multiple methods.

Operating room Windows system divides users into two categories - ordinary users and administrator. If errors appear, making changes to the OS will become possible only if you have administrator rights.

In the presented article, we will talk about how to properly run as administrator any application including system utilities Windows.

Run as administrator using the context menu

To call the context menu, you need click on the right mouse button... Next, click with the mouse on any program icon and select the "Run as administrator" option. This will allow you to access the command line or other application that cannot work without elevated privileges.

Selecting an option to run the program as administrator

We use the combination Ctrl + Shift + Enter when searching

In the absence of any element in start menu or on the desktop, you will most likely use search. This algorithm is present in any version of the Windows operating system, but it reached its peak of convenience only in the 10th generation.

Try to write any command - for example, cmd to open the command line. When choosing a result, simultaneously hold down the "Ctrl + Shift + Enter" combination. This method is popular largely due to its convenience.

Launching the application with administrator rights using a special command

Additional shortcut properties

Many users are wondering how to properly run command line using administrator rights. To speed up access, there is already an icon on the desktop, but it is inconvenient for the user to periodically use the context menu. This problem is more than solvable.

• Open the shortcut properties. To do this, hover over the icon of the program you are interested in, right-click and select the "Properties" section. There you need to find the "Additional" section.

Select the "Advanced" tab

• A list of additional parameters should appear in front of you. There you need to mark the parameter "Run as administrator" by checking the box.

Check the box as above

• That's all, now elevated rights will always be in effect when opening the program.

Important! Another interesting way is to go to the tab "Compatibility", where an option will be available that allows you to run the application as administrator.

Check the box underlined

How to start Windows as administrator

You can take advantage of several ways:

• download third party software;
• run system utilities;
• use the task scheduler;
• run programs from the command line.

All of these options are discussed in detail below.

Programs to run as administrator

The most popular are three products - RunAs, ExecAS and AdmiLink. If none of the above options work, do not despair - just use the task scheduler. However, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with each solution in more detail.

RunAs program

This application is present in the base assembly of any version of the Windows operating system, so the user does not have to download it separately. But launching is not so simple. The fact is that the application is hidden deep in the main system folder.

There is a simple quick launch option. It is enough to perform two actions - enable the command line with the further input of the following command: "Runas / user: N1 \ N2 msconfig.exe", where N1 Is the name of the personal computer, and N2- the name of the user who registered the account in the system.

Important! It is possible that the system will ask you to enter a password. This need arises if the account itself is password-protected. Be sure to enter the code word / phrase.

Password input

Having done everything correctly, the system should display the system configuration window.

Interesting fact:

In addition to the utility above, you can also use other program options - for example, cmd.exe.

Then the user creates a shortcut on the desktop. To do this, he needs to press the right mouse button, first hovering the cursor over an empty area. Then click on "Shortcut". When choosing a location, we indicate an identical command: “ runas / user: N1 \ N2 msconfig.exe».

Create a name for the shortcut and save it. How to do this correctly, we will show in the screenshots below.

Specify the location of the object

Assigning a name to a new shortcut

After you try to launch the shortcut, the system will open a command prompt prompting you to enter the password from the user profile. Having entered the data correctly, the system will automatically launch either msconfig or another previously selected utility.

With this configuration, users with access to personal computer, you will have to constantly enter the password. You will say that this is inconvenient, and you will be absolutely right. To get rid of the need to periodically enter your password, we recommend that you add the / savecred parameter to the command... The result will be the following command:

runas / savecred / user: N1 \ N2 msconfig.exe

Labels with this option will not work if it is important to you to stay safe. It is more logical to enter your password regularly without worrying about what third parties will want to use Windows tools without a password, hurting you.

ExecAS Tool

You can also run the application with administrator rights using ExecAS utilities. After turning on, a window will appear where you will be asked to enter the login and password for the account, as well as the path to the program and its name. After filling in all these data, click on the "Write" button.

An example of filling in the fields in the ExecAS program

The selected program should appear in the ExecAS list. Close the application and then launch it again. If everything is done correctly, the program will open from the list of saved in ExecAS... For adding additional application open command prompt and write the command ExecAS.exe / S.

Important! When committing last action make sure you are in the system directory with the program. For example, D: \ ExecAS.

If everything is done correctly, the program will appear in the window as shown above.

After restarting ExecAS, you can add additional software. A similar window should appear. The method is working, but not always convenient. We create shortcuts to increase comfort.

All you need to do is create two shortcuts with the following commands:

• D: \ ExecAS \ ExecAS.exe 1;
• D: \ ExecAS \ ExecAS.exe 2.

With the numbers 1 and 2, you select the program number recorded in ExecAS.

After launching the shortcuts, you will see that they were opened using administrator rights.

AdmiLink utility

Remember that AdmiLink Is a console utility, after the installation of which it will be registered in the operating system directory.

After launching the tool, you will see an intuitive window with a Russian-language interface. Therefore, you can easily figure it out in it.

1. The first field should contain the path to the file you want to run.
2. The second field can be left blank, as it is responsible for using additional command line parameters.
3. The system will fill in the third line automatically. If this did not happen, you need to register the path to the Windows root folder.
4. The fourth line consists of two parameters:

• show- the software will start at standard mode, while the window will remain visible;
• hide- the software will run "in the background", remaining invisible to the user.
• The next stage consists of filling in the parameters of the tab " Account»:
• domain name can be different- it is enough to register the account name, or enter test.lan / NetBios at your discretion;
• Username selected by pressing the button with the image of three dots;
• enter password from the user account and confirm the action;
• after entering the data, click on the "Test" button.

AdmiLink utility interface after filling in data

The program must make sure that the data entered earlier is correct. On the command line, press any button.

Click any button to complete the procedure.

If testing is successful, select the "Generate AdmiRun launch key" option.

Important! If you do not follow the steps above, the program will not work as expected.

Let's move on to the next step. Click on the "Link" tab and follow the further instructions:

• provide a name for the shortcut. You can name it at your discretion;
• specify the location of the shortcut in the option "Catalog";
• add a picture for the label;
• click once on the "Generate command line" button.

At the final stage, it remains to click the "Create Shortcut Now" button.

Create a shortcut by clicking the big button on the right

The confirmation of the correctness of the entered information is the appearance of the icon in the specified directory or on the desktop. Try running the shortcut you created earlier. If the application is launched as an administrator, it means that the operation was successful. If nothing happens, chances are you made a mistake at some point.

Important! If you change the program in the "Object" field in the properties of the shortcut, it will not be included. This is to prevent distribution problems. malicious code by the system.

Program launch error window

Task Scheduler

The program can also be launched with administrator rights by using the Task Scheduler tool. However, there is one problem here - if you do not have administrator rights, this method will not work.

V search bar write the phrase "Task Scheduler"... After starting the application, you will find the item "Create task"... The following shows where to look for it.

Create a new task

Give the task an appropriate name. For example, if you plan to run the command line as administrator, write down the name "CMD". Do not forget put a tick next to the option "Run with highest rights".

Don't forget to give the program the highest rights

Actions Tab contains a "Create" button. Click on it.

Create a new task

Your task is to select an action, that is, to schedule the launch of the application. After clicking on the "Browse" button, you need to select the utility that you want to enable in the future on behalf of the administrator. When starting the command line, write the path "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ cmd.exe"... Confirm the action by clicking on the "OK" button.

Fill in the field with a list of actions that the task scheduler should perform

The "Actions" tab should now contain a new line. Super, click on "OK".

Launching an application from the command line

If the Command Prompt is launched with administrator privileges by default, when launching other applications through it, they will also receive administrator privileges.

Agree, this is very convenient.

Using the Elevate tool

Since the program Elevate is not included with Windows by default, it must be downloaded separately. After that, start the command line and write a command that includes two paths - to the Elevate program and the application that must be run as administrator.

The program will automatically assign the selected application the right to run as administrator. This is a very simple way, as it needs a minimum waste of time.

conclusions

In this article, we have reviewed a list of simple ways to run programs with administrator rights. Some of them require a password to be entered to improve security.

Entering a password helps prevent theft or deletion of sensitive data. And virus software won't be able to use Windows tools this way.

We also talked about useful utilities that allow you to easily launch applications with the highest rights without entering a password. Despite the convenience, keep in mind that this method does not protect the user from the effects of viruses on the integrity of the stored data.

If you know of other ways to run applications as administrator, we'd love to hear about them in the comments! In the meantime, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with a useful video on the topic.

Windows operating system can overlay application programs various restrictions at your own discretion, as well as in accordance with the setting of the current account policy Windows entries... This is especially true for Internet-oriented software, which is software package SocialKit. The operating system does not report on the protective measures taken, however, while working with the program, this can lead to various errors. As a rule, these errors will be associated with the fact that the program does not have access to certain hardware or software resources. For example, a ban on the creation and modification of files in folders, up to a ban on access to the Internet.

SocialKit does not transfer any personal data of users when working anywhere, except directly to the Instagram servers and only when necessary. For example, when authorizing an Instagram account. We guarantee confidentiality when working with SocialKit, the absence of spyware and malicious code in the distribution, provided that it is downloaded from our official website socialkit.ru... Therefore, we safely recommend giving the program more access rights so that it does not interfere with comfortable work.

There is an item in the installation instructions that states that after installing the program, you need to give the program Administrator rights in the properties of the shortcut to launch SocialKit on the Desktop (it is created automatically during installation). Because installing the software package is a fairly simple operation, then most of the clients do not read the instructions and, accordingly, skip the point about the Administrator's rights.

If you also missed this moment when installing our software, then you can perform all the necessary steps to configure access rights at any convenient time and after installation.

There are two easy ways give the program Administrator rights:

1. Once at the start of the program. To do this, open the folder where the SocialKit software package is installed (by default, this is the path: " C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SocialKit Pro"), find the executable file" SocialKit.exe", click on it right click mouse and select " Run as Administrator"as shown in the screenshot.

Please note that with this approach, the program will run with Administrator rights once. If the next time you run it double click, then the program will run with default rights.

2. Change default rights. This approach is recommended during the first installation because allows you to configure the launch rights for the program once and never return to this issue. If you run the program from a shortcut on the Desktop, you can change the default launch rights in the shortcut properties. If you run the program from the installation folder by double clicking on the executable file " SocialKit.exe", then you can change the default launch rights in the properties of this file. To do this, go to the shortcut on the Desktop or to the executable file" SocialKit.exe"in the folder where the software package was installed, right-click on it and select" Properties"as shown in the screenshot below.

In the dialog box that opens, go to the " Compatibility"and check the box" Run this program on behalf of the Administrator"as shown in the screenshot below.

After that, the program will always run with Administrator rights.

CONTROL OF USER ACCOUNTS

If User Account Control (UAC) is also activated on your PC - and by default every version of Windows older than Windows 7 is configured this way, then an additional dialog will precede the launch of the program each time, as shown in the screenshot below.

V different versions Windows, starting with Windows 7, visually this notification may look different, but the essence is the same everywhere. If you are not particularly annoyed by this, then you can press " Yes", after which the launch of SocialKit will continue.

The display of this dialog can be disabled in the panel Windows management in the block of settings of user accounts or by clicking on the link " Configuring the issuance of such notifications".

In the dialog that opens, you can move the slider down to the " Never notify"and press" OK".

IMPORTANT! The changes made in the block for configuring the settings for managing user accounts will apply not only to SocialKit, but also to all other programs. If you are not sure about the security of the software you are using, then it is better not to change these settings.

Often users are faced with the fact that some utilities must be run with administrator rights in Windows 7, 8 and 10. This may be required by various games, browsers, steam or system utilities. If this is not done, then they may not start at all, or some functions may be unavailable. There is several ways run the required applications with administrator rights, about this and there will be a speech in this article.

How to set administrator rights for your account

To perform all these actions, the user must have the appropriate authority. If this is not the case, then you will need to give them to him. For starters, you can act through hidden account administrator, for this it is enough to start the console and enter an operator there net user administrator / active: yes, then it will appear new account to enter.

In it, go to the control panel and go to the section user accounts... Here you should click on the item related to managing another account and click on the one whose type you want to change.

In the menu that appears, click on type changes account, and in the new menu click on the administrator.

All that remains is to apply the settings and log into your account.

Using the context menu

The easiest way to open the utility with admin rights is from the drop-down menu. To call it, you just need to right-click on the executable file or shortcut and click on launch with the required parameter.

It is possible to open programs not only from the administrator, but also on behalf of another user. All it takes is hold the buttonshift, then press RMB. In the context menu, the desired item will be added, you need to click on it, and then you will need to enter the username and password.

Shortcut properties

It is possible to set the required permissions and through the properties of the shortcut. To begin with, you should click on it with RMB and select properties, then go to compatibility section... Here you can check the required item.

At the bottom of the window there is a button " Change settings for all users», You can click on it and put the exact same checkmark in the pop-up menu. With this approach, the program will run with admin rights for all accounts on the device.

Windows 8 Start Screen

The user has the opportunity to carry out all the necessary manipulations and directly from home screen if the application is placed on it. The actions in this case do not differ much from the described methods. First, you need to right-click on the utility icon, and then go to the section additionally and select the desired item there.

This method is well suited if you need a one-time launch of the program.

When searching

If the user does not know where the executable file or shortcut is, he can use the usual search. In this case, launching the utility with the required permissions is also not a problem. It is enough just to type the name of the program in the search bar and wait until the system finds it, then it remains to click on it with RMB and select the desired item menu.

Using the task scheduler

Those users whose accounts are included in the Administrators group can also use task scheduler... To get into it, you need to right-click on the computer, select control, and in the window that appears, click on task Manager, in the utility itself, you should click on create a task.

In the window that opens, write the name and set execution with higher rights.

Then you should click on Action, where you will need to click on create again. In the menu that appears, you need to set the launch of the program, click on the browse and indicate the path to it.

It remains to click on ok.

In the remaining window, everything is also OK.

You can now close the scheduler and exit to the desktop. This will require create shortcut.

In the first window, you should set schtasks / run / tn cmd_admin, however, instead of cmd_admin, you will need to set your own name, if it contains spaces, then all of it should be enclosed in quotes.

To automate this procedure, you can use the program Elevated Shortcut, which should be downloaded from http://soft.oszone.net/program/9686. You will need to download and install it on your computer. All you need to do next is to drag the executable file of the application, which needs to be given administrator rights, onto the shortcut of the application.

There is a small problem in this method, it consists in the fact that after launching the utility, the focus does not go to it and you have to additionally select it. For the system to do this itself, you can use command start, in the form / c start / d "path_to_program" filename.exe, for example, for the command line it will look like this / c start / d "C: \ Windows \ System32 \" cmd.exe.

For this, you can use the NirCmd utility ... It should write exec show "path_to_program \ filename.exe", for example, exec show "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ cmd.exe".

Running through the command line

You can also run the necessary utility through the command line. This will only work if the Command Prompt is run with administrator privileges. To do this, in the search bar in the start, we drive in cmd, right-click on the found element and select - Run as Administrator.

It only needs to specify the path to the application.

You can use for this and third party applications like Elevate by Johannes Passing or PowerToys by Michael Murgolo. In this case, you only need to write the path to the first utility, and then to the one that should be run.

In order not to constantly write a lot, you can use the function copy path, which is available when the user clicks on the utility with the right mouse button while holding down the shift key.

Run the window with administrator rights

You can set administrator rights for the Run utility, you will have to do this through the same task scheduler, there you will need to specify in the Program or script field: rundll32, and in the Add arguments field: shell32.dll, # 61.

All actions from this application will also be performed with elevated privileges.

RunAs

You can use the built-in command to give other users the ability to run a particular utility with elevated rights. First, the user will have to create a shortcut, as the program should be specified runas / savecred / user: Andrey "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ VideoLAN \ VLC \ vlc.exe".

V fielduser you need to specify the name of the account, then full path to the utility. / savecred is used to enter the password only once. After the first input, the rest will be able to use the shortcut freely and run the specified program with the necessary rights.

ExecAS

The utility can be downloaded from the link https://pisoft.ru/. You can install the program, upon entering the user will see such a window.

Above there are items to add, change and delete. When adding, you will need to specify the name and password of the account and the program itself. This data is stored encrypted and will not be lost.

AdmiLink

Usually, when a user who does not have the necessary rights tries to run the utility with administrator rights, he is asked for a password, however, giving it all in a row is not a good idea, and some programs must be run with administrator rights. If such a situation arises, this program can help. You can download it from the link http://crw-daq.ru/download/doc/admilink/admilink.htm.

First you need point the way to the program that will be granted permissions.

Next is go to account and enter the administrator's details there.
