    Is there a way to make all apps within a folder to run elevated?


    My question has to do with the folder SysInternals Suite. There are about 150 executable files in that folder. Is there a cmd prompt I can run that would make all the executables in the folder run with administrative rights? Rather than individually.

    :)

    Split Steam app folder between 2 HDD?

    As the title suggests I want to find out if there's a way I can split my steam app folder on to 2 drives, specifically an SSD that I will be putting my OS and most used games and apps and a regular HDD for everything else?

  3. Scheduled tasks run with elevated privileges can't access stored Windows credentials

    It seems that after Creators update scheduled tasks run with elevated privileges ('run with highest privileges' option) can't access stored Windows credentials. Is that a bug or an intentional change and is there a recommended workaround?

    Here's one way to reproduce the behaviour:

    • Start Credential Manger and add some Windows share credentials.
    • In a console window type 'cmdkey /list', which should list the added credentials
    • Create a task in a task manager:
      • Trigger: on user logon
      • Action: run cmd.exe
      • Tick the 'run with highest privileges' option
    • Reboot the machine and log in
    • In the console window (let's call it 'console 1') opened from the scheduled task type 'cmdkey /list'. This most likely won't display the credentials added in step 1 and properly listed in step 2. ->
      This looks like a bug
    • Now, without closing 'console 1' open another console window as an administrator (let's call it 'console 2') and type 'cmdkey /list'. This will properly list credentials added in step 1.
    • Switch to 'console 1' and type 'cmdkey /list' again. This time the credentials are listed properly, unlike in step 5. It looks like an access to Windows credentials was somehow 'unlocked' by step 6.

    Is there a way to make all apps within a folder to run elevated?

    How to set up elevated process to run at user logon?


    That's why I suggested the Start Folder using Shawn's tut. It wouldn't be the user running it then, it would be Explorer. It's not uncommon for other vendors to place startup entries there in order to run with privilege. I'm only offering an alternative way of trying it to see if it fits his needs and his organizations policies, while maintaining control. A standard user (un-priviledged) would not be able to alter the entry in the Start Folder. And no button to push.

    These two lines from the tutorial tell me only an Admin could add/delete/modify these entries, and the standard user would have no input or choice....it would just run.


    NOTE: You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to do this step.
    A) In File Explorer, navigate to the step 4 below.
