Default to Administrator

[CWBillow]

I am part of the Admin group. But when I was trying to copy some files from one drive to another, TC asked for an Administrator choice.

Is there a way to set or run TC so that it is always "As Administrator"?

I know I can set the shortcut Advanced properties, but is there also a command-line switch?

But you should keep in mind that every program started by an elevated TC (even if you click on documents and start the associated program) will run as administrator too.
Nothing for every day use.

Edit:

Alternative2: (mark the code, copy to clipboard, paste in button bar):

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
*%COMMANDER_EXE%

%COMMANDER_EXE%
Run TC elevated

CWBillow, it is Windows who revokes applications' admin rights for your safety so no command switch will help here. So here are 3 ways: disable UAC (bad for safety), always start TC elevated (not much bad but a bit too) or organize your daily documents directories so they won't require admin rights to copy files to (Permissions tab of properties dialog).

HolgerK, I would add parameters %Z/N %X"%P" "%T" for starting elevated TC to get same directories opened in its panels.

Normally i'm using this parameters:

Code: Select all

/N /S /L="%P" /R="%T"

but i've removed it from the copied code to show only necessary parts.

HolgerK, there is one problem with yours: if wrong panel is active, new TC will have panels switched. That's why I'm using mentioned command line. And, %Z allows to start new TC when I'm in archive.

You're right, but it doesn't really matter for me because in 90% here the left panel is the the source panel.
