Step 1: Access Command Prompt Properties
The first step is to access the properties of Command Prompt. You can do this by searching for “Command Prompt” in the Windows search bar, right-clicking on the app, and selecting “Properties” from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Open Advanced Properties
Once you have accessed the Command Prompt Properties, click on the “Advanced” tab. From there, check the box that says “Run as administrator” and click “OK” to save changes.
Step 3: Confirm Changes
To confirm that the changes have been made, close Command Prompt and then reopen it. You should see a message asking for permission to run the app as an administrator. Click “Yes” to confirm.
Step 4: Create a Shortcut
To simplify the process, you can create a shortcut on your desktop that will always run Command Prompt with administrative rights. To do this, right-click on the Command Prompt app and select “Create shortcut.” Then, right-click on the shortcut and select “Properties.”
Step 5: Edit Shortcut Properties
In the shortcut properties, click on the “Advanced” tab and check the box that says “Run as administrator.” Click “OK” to save changes.
Step 6: Use the Shortcut
