| Guest | Vista home premium administrator issues When I am under the compatibility tab to run as administrator the option to do so is grayed out. I am running as the administrator. Also when using CMD there are times when it says that I do not have permission but I am the only account on the computer and run as administrator. And when trying to save a file to a location other than the one vista wants it says I do not have permission, again I am the administrator. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks |

| Guest | Re: Vista home premium administrator issues Hello, 1) I'm not sure, but I think it is greyed out because if you are logged in using the account "Administrator", all programs are executed as Administrator anyway. 2) Still, if you are using an administrative account, there are some programs which need higher rights (Programs are normally executed with lower rights, so that they can't do harm). For that, right-click cmd, and click "Run as administrator". 3) Is the location, for instance, Program Files? Then right-click the folder, click Properties -> tab "Security" -> Advanced -> tab "Owner" and make yourself the owner of all files (there's a check box to check for all files). Then, if it doesn't work, go back to Properties -> tab "Security", and add yourself to the list, and give all groups and users your user name belongs to the necessary writing rights. Hope this helps.

| Guest | Re: Vista home premium administrator issues Mike If this is a shortcut for a program, what you are seeing is normal. Right click the shortcut and select the Shortcut Tab. Click the Advanced Button near the bottom and should see an available Run As Administrator option there. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "mike97478" <mike97478@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C7E8F079-6E98-4BE3-9C25-8BA781FEB981@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Vista home premium administrator issues I have tried all that as been suggested and still no joy. As you say It may be that I am running as the "Administrator". I do have a question about this if I am running as a guest or other user how could I change permissions if I was not signed in as an Administrator? Also how do I get Administrator permissions when I run in CMD mode? (I am running as Administrator when I envoke the CMD mode) Thanks MIke "P. Di Stolfo" wrote:

| Guest | Re: Vista home premium administrator issues Hello, you should be able to change the permission without being logged on as the so-called "Administrator", but with an administrative account. For cmd, go to start, type cmd, and right-click the searched cmd, and click "Run as administrator". It should now say "Administrator: ..." in the title of the cmd. If it does so, you are running cmd in administrative mode. Greetings, P.

| Guest | Re: Vista home premium administrator issues Mike What exactly happened when you tried this? You need to be aware that there are a couple of different types of shortcuts. 1. Shortcuts that are created by the installation program for an application. 2. User created shortcuts. If this is a shortcut in the Start Menu, it was probably created by the installation program for that application. These installer created shortcuts can be different from a user created shortcut. The shortcut may also have options that are not available in a user created shortcut such as a repair option and you cannot edit the target for the shortcut. It may also have options missing that are available in a user created shortcut, such as the compatibility tab and other features may be missing. What you can do is go to the executable file for that application (appname.exe) and create a shortcut to that file. This shortcut will have all of the standard buttons and tabs where you can set the options. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "mike97478" <mike97478@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B9FAEBD7-0252-4D84-B78B-013AE99FDBA8@xxxxxx
