Windows 10: [How-To] Context menu "Open elevated Command Prompt Here" without UAC

1. Create a newTask named OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC and activate "Run with the highest privileges"

2. Go to the Actions Tab, create a new Action "Start a Program" choose "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" and set the Working Directory (Start in) to %CURDIR%

3. Create a Shortcut named OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC.
In the "Type the location of the item" Field type:

C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /TN "\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC"

and copy the created Shortcut to C:\Windows\System32

Finally, add the attached "Add_Open_Command_Window Here_Admin_No_UAC.reg" to Registry.

Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Created by: ; Created on: 08_20_16 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC] @="Open Command Window Here (Admin)" "HasLUAShield"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC\command] @="cmd /s /c \"setx CURDIR \"%V\"& start c:\\windows\\system32\\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC.\"lnk\"& exit\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC] @="Open Command Window Here (Admin)" "HasLUAShield"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC\command] @="cmd /s /c \"setx CURDIR \"%V\"& start c:\\windows\\system32\\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC.\"lnk\"& exit\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC] @="Open Command Window Here (Admin)" "HasLUAShield"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC\command] @="cmd /s /c \"setx CURDIR %V& start c:\\windows\\system32\\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC.\"lnk\"& exit\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LibraryFolder\background\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC] "HasLUAShield"="" @="Open Command Window Here (Admin)" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LibraryFolder\background\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC\command] @="cmd /s /c \"setx CURDIR \"%V\"& start c:\\windows\\system32\\OpenCmdHereAsAdminNoUAC.\"lnk\"& exit\""[/quote]

How do I change the default administrator account for the UAC elevation password prompt?

I have set the "User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode" security policy in secpol.msc to "Prompt for credentials" for security purposes so that even when a user is logged in as an administrator
they must type their password instead of simply consenting to the UAC prompt. The only problem is that when the built-in Administrator account is enabled the UAC elevation prompt ALWAYS defaults to that account instead of the currently logged in local administrator
account, requiring the user to click "More choices" then their name before being able to use their own password to elevate. When performing repetitive administrative tasks this quickly becomes very annoying. It was my understanding the UAC prompt should remember
the last user account used, however that does not seem to be the case. How can I make the UAC elevation prompt default to the currently logged in administrator instead of the built-in administrator account?

 

Win 10 pro - administrator keeps getting Access is denied

You're close and here is your banana:

• Open an elevated Command Prompt.
• Kill explorer.exe. Your desktop will go blank.
• Launch explorer.exe. It now runs in the context of the elevated account.

Note also that the Administrator account is not some "super"-account. All accounts with admin privileges are the same under Windows 10.

 

Elevated Shortcut without UAC - Create in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums *Wink

 

My Solution is a bit different. @Context menu and UAC *Wink

 

I prefer to have the UAC prompt for better security.

Open command window here as administrator - Add in Windows 10

 

The UAC prompt bothered me in this situation .
But you are right, it is of course more secure if you do not bypass the UAC.

 

I want to remove the Default SHIFT + RIGHT BUTTON of mouse when a folder it's selected......... apparently it's impossible....

 

Hello DJ,

See the download from step 2 below for this. *Smile

Open command window here as administrator - Add in Windows 10

 

I use this one very easy with no fiddling around the Reg.

ContextConsole Shell Extension

 

Oh yeah... but i have already create and found the solution myself using powershell but i have used a different command.... i have used this:
i have create the voices named "00_CmdHereAsAdmin"... in this mode my custom voices appears immediatelly after "Add to quick access". But from reg files download here i can now add the icon..............

And i have used this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command "Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/s,/k,pushd,%V' -Verb RunAs"

I see the blue powershell and immediatelly after i see the command prompt... i thinks i can use the command suggested on .reg files....

*EDIT*
Warning...... i have apparently found a problems on .reg files in this link... the correct command i need to put it's:

Code: PowerShell -windowstyle hidden -Command "Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/s,/k,pushd,%V' -Verb RunAs"[/quote] In the .reg files contain a "" after -command and it's not works........ apparently the -windowstyle hidden it's no work because i can see the powershell windows otherwise........

 

Hello DJ, *Smile

Do you mean a problem from the .reg in the tutorial below?

I'm not having any issue with it, so what issue are you having if so?

Open command window here as administrator - Add in Windows 10

This below is the command used by the .reg files in the tutorial.

 

Oh yes... i have a little problems when i try to edit the "shell" voices.... i have need to obtain the full right on this voices to edit all *Smile

After that i have created a newest voices infact........

 

I'm glad you got it sorted. *Smile
