Run with PIN as Administrator #3

Closed Xelentra1 closed 4 years ago

Hey!

Sorry if it is stupid question but how to run an executable file with PIN as Administrator?

hasherezade commented 4 years ago

Actually, it is not a stupid question. And a good idea to add a menu to run with PIN as an Administrator.

pin_menus

I made an update, check it out. You need to delete the old menus first by delete_menu.reg, and then add them again.

Also make sure that your Administrator account is enabled in the group policy, otherwise it will not run. In Group Policy Editor: Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options ->Accounts: Administrator account status:Enabled

Getting this error when trying to run as administrator. Normal run works fine
