(Drive:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo)<br />2) Right click on the shortcut and open "Properties"<br />3) Click on the "Shortcut" tab (translating from Swedish here, but it is the tab with the path to the source file)<br />4) Click on the "Advanced" button to the right below.<br />5) In this "Advanced Properties", set a tick in the "Open as Administrator" checkbox.<br />DONE!<br />I changed the name of the shortcut to "Notepad++ (Administrator)", but that is of course optional.<br /><br />OBS! An important thing to remember is that one cannot have a "normal" Notepad++ session open, as well as an "administrative" one at the same time! I have found that if I have a normal session open and I activate the administrative shortcut, I end up in the "normal" session. If I close that session, the shortcut works perfectly: right click one the file you want to open, choose "Open with" in the menu and then the shortcut you have created.<br /><br />: P<br />/ErrolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662569608664708278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054614406137433263.post-83513215967549806722018-11-30T10:44:32.545-05:002018-11-30T10:44:32.545-05:00You can ask for a feature here = https://notepad-p...You can ask for a feature here = https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/216/feature-request-bug-reports<br />There is this Save as Admin - https://sourceforge.net/projects/nppsaveasadmin/metadataconsulting (profile)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02252886574672860301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054614406137433263.post-68744323064303225702018-11-26T04:11:08.067-05:002018-11-26T04:11:08.067-05:00What about notepad ++?What about notepad ++?vasianoreply@blogger.com
