Run Total Commander as administrator from the Start Menu

[lisabon]

Hello!
Maybe tell me what the problem is ...

I have:
- Total Commander v8.52a 32-bit
- Windows 8.1 64-bit
- In settings WinCmd.ini written:

Code: Select all

[Left]
path=::
ShowAllDetails=0

[Right]
path=::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
ShowAllDetails=0

[LeftTabs]
0_path=::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
activetab=0

[RightTabs]
0_path=::
activetab=1

I mean, when I run Total Commander, Total Commander open tabs virtual folders "Desktop" and "My Computer": http://s10.postimg.org/vsitcsghl/start.png

- Added to the Start Menu command "Run Total Commander as administrator" with parameters:

Code: Select all

[user]
menu1=Run Total Commander as administrator
cmd1=*%COMMANDER_EXE%
param1=%Z%X"%P" "%T" /N

http://s14.postimg.org/orylbw23l/Start_Menu_Set.png

In a typical run the Total Commander, gives no errors. As a result I have: http://s10.postimg.org/vsitcsghl/start.png

If I run the "Run Total Commander as administrator" from the Start Menu: http://s23.postimg.org/8mv4s6inf/run.png , I have the error "Drive not found": http://s17.postimg.org/u32gzv61b/error.png , after closing the dialog with the error goes to the C: drive, instead of the virtual folder "Desktop" and "My Computer."
With this run, Total Commander virtual folders does not understand?
It is a bug or limitation?
Is it possible to solve this feature of the behavior of Total Commander with this run:

Code: Select all

[user]
menu1=Run Total Commander as administrator
cmd1=*%COMMANDER_EXE%
param1=%Z%X"%P" "%T" /N

with the necessary virtual folders "Desktop" and "My Computer" in the tabs?

IIRC TC doesn't support opening virtual folders via parameters. It doesn't have anything to do with starting as administrator or something since it doesn't work when omitting the asterisk in the parameters field.

You're passing something like "\\Desktop\" as path. This gets interpreted as a UNC (network) path just like "\\server\share" and since there's probably no server named "Desktop" it fails.

If you want to always open "My Computer" and "Desktop" this should work:

Code: Select all

paramX=/L=::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} /R=::
