[feature request] run as admin for command line

Post by *joker »

It would be great if the context menu of the command line bar had an entry "Run as administrator".
Thanks for considering.

If you, as I suggest, set TC to be launched as administrator, every process or program launched within TC will have administrator rights, included a command window.
This is also very useful when installing programs: if you do it within TC, you are sure lo launch installers with administrative rights.

Routinely launching all programs with administrative rights is opening the door to unintended consequences if one of those programs happens to contain malware. I want to know if a program I'm executing needs administrative rights so I have a chance to decide if that is legitimate.

You can try my Sudo tool: put it into Windows directory and then simply use it in TC command line:

Code: Select all

sudo <program> <arguments>
