Automatically start File Locksmith as admin #25154

Open Florian-Mahlberg opened 1 year ago

Florian-Mahlberg commented 1 year ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Just as the title describes it: I'd love to have an option to automatically start locksmith with admin permissions.

Scenario when this would be used?

Currently I need to press the "Restart as Administrator" button which I wouldn't need to do anymore.

This would especially make sense if it followed the "Always Run As Administrator" option in the General settings.

This would be a great addition. Most of the time I require the use of File Locksmith I'm fiddling in the "program files" directory requiring administrative privileges.
