Is there a way to always have vs.net run as administrator?

Question

Every time I want to open up a solution in vs.net, I have to first click on the vs.net icon, run as admin, and then open and search for the solution in the file system.

i.e I can't just click on the solution file and fire things up because it won't open since I have to run as admin.

is there any easier way? (vs.net 2008)

Answer 1

I turn off UAC. It may be big-headed of me, but I like to think I'm advanced enough as a user to not need the computer to protect me from myself.

Answer 2

This is probably a SuperUser question. But right click on Devenv.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility Tab -> Privilege Level section, click "Run this program as an administrator".

Answer 3

Right click on the visual studio icon and choose "Properties". There should be a "Compatibility" tab, and that tab should have a checkbox option to "Run this program as Administrator".

Answer 4

I think you set run as admin in the program files tree on:

Launcher: VSLauncher.exe

and

IDE: devenv.exe
