Change properties (privilege level) Command Prompt in Windows 7

You can change the Command Prompt shortcut to always run as Administrator under the Properties sheet → Shortcut tab → Advanced.

Not on a System file.

You could unhide the Administrator account, log into that account, then you don't need to use the "run as admin" on any program, it is done by default.

EDIT

Possible Solution:

Right click on cmd shortcut, select Properties, go to shorcut tab, hit advanced button, tick "Run as administrator", hit OK,OK.


To auto run CMD as admin each time without having to right click and run as admin or create any shortcuts, there is a simple fix for this:

In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers (If there isn't a Layers folder, you'll have to create one).

For the value, make it the full path to command prompt. (i.e. C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe without any quotes) and the data of that value RUNASADMIN without quotes.
