If the prompt in the window shows you are in the C:\Windows\system32
folder, you're running that window as administrator.

No, it still says Command Prompt only. How do I get it to come up in the
C:\Windows\system32
folder?

Are you positive the account you are logging in with has administrative
rights?

It seems to be so.


To check if you are logged into Windows 8 as a user with administrative
rights,
please:

1. Right-click in the bottom left corner of your screen, and then click
Control
panel.

2. open User accounts

3. click "Manage another account"

There will be all user accounts listed on the page. Each account has
assigned
some status (Administrator, Standard user, etc.).

There is a Guest account on the right that is turned off by default I guess.
And my account, on the left, RHBreener w/my email address and Administrator,
Password Protected. So I suppose I'm the Admin. Those are the only 2
accounts there.


If you are not sure under which account you work at the moment, please
open the
main User Accounts page. The current user is displayed in the right part
of the
page.

Try entering 'command' in the search box, r-click on the 'command
prompt' choice that comes up.

Holy sh*t.... that worked!!!!!!!!!! After all this time and reading online.
Thanks!

I just spent over an hour on eightforums and what they said to do doesn't
bring up any choices to run the Command Prompt as Administrator. There is
no info on how to get that choice to appear on the dropdown menu.

Use the Win 8 Snipping Tool to take a capture of the screen where you're
clicking, then upload it somewhere and post the link. You're obviously doing
something wrong, but we're having a hard time seeing what it is. Opening a
Command Prompt as Admin works perfectly here.

I've been there already. There is no choice to click on for "Run as
administrator." It says Command Prompt and that's all. There is
nothing about running as an admin on the dropdown menu. It says
move, size, edit etc.

A person who is running ClassicShell, probably doesn't
use the big Start window with all the groovy tiles in it :-)

If you use that sucker (click the Start thing), and type
"Command Prompt" or "cmd", the Start window searches its
list of software and puts the search result on the right hand side.
If you right-click on the first item that comes back, one of the
options is "Run As Administrator".

http://i60.tinypic.com/k98h1l.jpg

The only thing that came up is the SAME Command Prompt window. What
other items do you mean? Just the one window came up. What else was
supposed to come up?


*******

Now, if you get this far along, "Command Prompt"
is already running. It's a bit difficult to elevate.
And you notice the window frame has only the ordinary
adjustments.

http://i62.tinypic.com/i27rph.jpg

Close that window for now.

Then find that Start button, and do it like in the first
picture. And right-click on the first result that comes
back.

*******

How do I get the tiles back? Even if I type in CMD the same window with
the same dropdown menu comes up with the same choices, none are run as
Admin.


For a stickler for details like yourself, note that
in this OS, the Command Prompt window has a mind of
its own.

On older OSes, you can open one "Administrator-powered"
command prompt window after another.

On this stinking OS, if you attempt to open a second
one (using the method shown in the first picture),
instead of opening a second Command Prompt, it
just whips you back to that first window you created.

If you attempt to open a second window which is
not elevated, then you can open a second command
prompt window.

And right off hand, I can't remember the fix for this.

The same window keeps coming up over and over with no choice in the
dropdown menu for Admin. This OS is the pits. I see no inprovement over
Vista and W 7. What was improved? It's worse - plus things are
missing we used to get. No email client. No Snipper Tool. What is MS
trying to prove? People are just being driven to MACS. I'm the last one
in the family to be still using Windows.

At least with W7 I could get WindowsMail working. I can't on the W 8 LT.

It is the same as Windows 7. Click on the start button (Classic Shell)
type "cmd" in the search bar "cmd" will appear. Right click on "cmd" and
select "Run as administrator".

There is a snipping tool. The same exact one that comes with Windows 7.

Also, Windows 7 does not come with an email client.

You are not "The Administrator", you are "an administrator" (an account
of *type* administrator).

That means an account with many but not all of The Administrator's
privileges.

The real Administrator account is hidden, but it is accessible by some
trickery.

In the elevated command prompt, type

Tricky, no? :-)

Since you weren't able to figure that out from what I wrote: I had no
intention of posting that information in this thread.

If you wanted to tell R.H. Breener how to enable the Administrator
account, you also should have mentioned how to disable it. And why. And
while you were at it, you might have told him how to log in to that
account and how to set a password once he's there. Also how to get back
to his normal account...

You were not altogether responsible, IMO.

It's nice to be loved. Thanks.

If you care enough, do some research on your own. ATM, I don't recall
the things I had to do as *the* Administrator, and I don't particularly
care whether you know what they were.

RHB claims that his account is an Administrator account in

Message-ID:

I can't guess what his problem is.

Although I have a faint recollection that yesterday he posted that he
finally followed the right suggestion & it worked.

Yes: Message-ID:

So (surprise!) maybe it was just a question of not following
instructions.

I care when someone makes such a bold statement and then says, "I

warming or that the proposed pipeline will create jobs that last more
than 2 years!

I guarantee you that I have relatively little to do with global warming,
but about the Keystone XL pipeline, I reserve comment. HTH.

I think I had a bold statement to make, but I forgot. Probably because
of years reading all the excess hot air that increasingly has global
impact on the value of newsgroups...or maybe the pipeline that provides
the feed really wasn't necessary.

I should have posted more discreetly. I forgot that you were monitoring
me :-)

So you caught me...perhaps I *am* guilty of contributing to global
warming.
