Run as Administrator

[dnme]

I see a lot of posts and advice on here and other forums advising people to 'Run as Administrator'.

 

So, why not just set this up as default

 

* Start

* Run

* Type "control userpasswords2" (without quotes)

* Select your username

* Click properties

* Select group membership tab

* Click Administrator

* Click Apply, Apply etc

 

You can also use this dialog to automatically log you in

* Start

* Run

* Type "control userpasswords2" (without quotes)

* Select your username

* Uncheck "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer"

* Follow dialog instructions etc

 

You should now be setup as Administrator explicitly.

May also help to set User account control settings to "never notify" which gets rid of all the nagging.
