Hey all,

I need to run programs as administrator(yes im logged on as administrator)
but the option to run them as administrator under the compatibility tab is
grayed out! Iv tried selecting the one under the Shortcut tab but this doest
work. I need to be able to select the one under compatibility!

Can someone please tell me how to do this.

PS: I cant use scheduled Tasks for this because i run a script that starts
itself with programs and i need the program itself to not be running before
the script. So i need this to work!(yes iv tried making the script run as
administrato). So please help me!!

Hello,

Try this and see if it works:

- Click start
- Type: regedit
- Press enter
- In the left, browse to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
- Make sure the layers folder is selected
- In the right, right-click a blank white area, click new, click string
value
- For the name of the value, type in the full path to the .exe file.
(e.g., c:\program files\myfile.exe)
- Double-click the item you just created
- For the value data, type: RUNASADMIN
- Click OK
