Does running Auto Play As Admin also run the program as administrator?

[jack54]

I like to run my Matrix games "as Administrator".... The commonly installed Desktop shortcut usually opens the Matrix window where you then choose play.

After I edit the Short cut to 'run as Administrator' if I chose play will the program run with Administrator rights or is it necessary to create a short cut from the game application itself?

Here"s Kharkov as an example:

default 'Autorun' application 2732 kb

---------Kharkov application 3568 kb



Thanks!

For running as administrator do the following:
Open the game installation folder.
Find and select a file named autorun.exe.
Press the right mouse button and select Properties.
Click on the Compatibility tab.
Tick the option Run this program as an administrator.
Click on Apply and Ok.

Ok thanks[:)]

Jack54, my guess is that the autorun.exe is elevated in privilege, but not the game exe, unless the autorun.exe is passing that elevated status on.

It usually passes.
