Q. How to run Command prompt always as Administrator in Windows?

Recently while working on one of the assignment on Windows server, I used to run command prompt always as Administrator. Every time I was following same old steps (i.e. Right click on command prompt short cut, then select "Run as Administrator" option). I didn't like it and then decided to find better option.

I tried couple of options and found one solution. Using it now whenever I run command prompt on my server it always runs as Administrator.

There might be many other options or solution to solve this problem but I found this one very simple and effective.

Steps to run Command Prompt always as Administrator are as follow:

1. Right click on the Command prompt shortcut and select "Properties" from the menu.












2. Go to "Shortcut Tab and click on "Advanced..." button
