Windows 10: How to change the default admin account used for "run as admin" context menu entries?

On windows 10, I had created a new admin account other than the builtin default. Thereafter i had disabled the default admin account. Works correct EXCEPT that whenever i click the "run as admin" context menu entry on start menu items on a normal user account, the program is NOT run as admin, but as the normal user that's logged in.On the contrary, when i Shift-Rightclick the start menu entry and use "run as another user", then enter the account credentials for the newly created admin account, the program starts as that newly created admin as expected.The obvious pitfall is that the account wh

Shortcut 'Run as Admin' setting not working, context menu 'Run as Admin' option works

I have a .exe that will only run using the 'Run as Admin' option in the context menu. This is true for either the .exe itself or the shortcut to it. In the properties for the short cut, I've given it the 'Run as Admin' permissions, running it will provide the same dialogue box asking for confirmation but the .exe will run with an error.

Ultimately the question is this, what is the difference between running as administrator from the context menu and running as admin as defined in the properties?

 

Custom context menu entries

So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown
