Vista C:> "The requested operation requires elevation"

Vester · 05-23-2007, 1:18 AM

This is a Vista tip.

When attempting to run some commands, one is informed that elevation is required. That means the command must be run as administrator.

Go to All Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt. (I right-click on Command Prompt and Pin to the Start Menu.) One can right-click on the Command Prompt and "Run as administrator" with the result shown below.

Thanks for the tip...but you just KNOW that some ppl will take their laptop, stand on a chair and then try running the command. ;-)

That's why I posted the tip. Someone may have driven to the mountains.

Excellent Tip, Vester!

Spybot S&D's immunise function was whingeing about needing to be run as administrator, so remembering this thread, I right clicked on the shortcut, selected Run as Administrator and Presto! Immunised, no more complaints!
