Running Programs As Administrator

In Windows7, attempting to install or save to a Folder/Directory often seems to result in the OS wanting higher level permissions than I have. Permission denied errors are the result - and the need to result to tricks* to manually achieve my goal.

Following are a couple of sites which list several useful and convenient ways around such limitations. Very nice from my viewpoint; perhaps you also will find them to be :

*Trick :
Create Folder manually and answer in affermative when told that you will need to provide administrative permission to complete creation.

Open Compressed RAR or Zip folder by double-clicking in WinRar.

Drag displayed Files to Folder created earlier .... which un-compresses them, without having to request WinRar to do so.

 

Hi KlicKKat. Thanks for the tips.
I would advise anyone to use your second link as the first link involves going into the Registry.
Can be unsafe unless you are experienced. Anyone who makes changes to the Registry should first perform a registry backup, and create a system restore point prior.
