Administrative rights

I have tried the suggestions listed on
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/administrator-rights/8523fd5c-5197-4eac-a174-bb20b522cad2 with no luck. I might have locked myself out in the endless ways of trying to resolve this issue.

Please provide me a way that I may obtain my administrative rights on my computer again.

Thank you,

Doug

 

Exe files can only be opened by "run as administrator"

Hi,

Corrupted registry settings, some third-party products, or viruses can change the default configuration for running .exe files. To rectify the issue with opening this particular file type, we suggest that you follow the steps
below:

• Right-click on the Start button, then choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
• Type regedit and press Enter.
  
• Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe.
  
• Double-click (Default) key, then set the Value data to
  exefile.
  
• Scroll down to go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command key.
  
• Double-click (Default) key, then set the Value data to “%1” %*.
• Restart your computer.
  

Update us if it addressed your issue.

Thank you.
