| | UAC blocking changes to shortcut properties UAC appears to block changes to certain shortcuts, such as Command Prompt. Obviously, changing shortcuts system-wide should require an elevation, and indeed a prompt appears when changing such a shortcut. However, no changes take effect, even though elevation succeeded. This seems to be a bug, perhaps only in the special property pages for command-line programs. My specific problem that triggered this post was in modifying extended properties of a command line program shortcut, Windows PowerShell. I wanted to change its layout from 60 lines high to 59. Unfortunately, the only way to change this is to run PowerShell as administrator and change the properties from there. This is not too bad, but I would like to see the bug fixed. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
