Elevated Command Prompt

Because it was probably the last program to run a script from that directory via an elevated command prompt?

I get that by typing cmd into the search and right clicking the result and choosing run as administrator.

If I go to all programs, accessories right click cmd.exe and choose run as administrator, I get a different prompt. It has the following command line.

C:\Users\Jim

The title bar says Administrator: Command Prompt.  You can see in the image, I get different results the other way.

Can I get an explanation?  

Same Hillbilly, different day.......they're both wrong.... 

Yrag, you quack me up!!!       

I agree...WTF?

Correct command line is: C:\Windows\System32>

To run scannow, it would be: C:\Windows\System32>sfc /scannow.

I (like you) have no idea what you're doing. Would you like your lecture in private or public?

Public, why only enlighten me?

But, before you start, know this.....I didn't type any of that in, other than the sfc /scannow part.

Let me get this right....

When you right click Accessories / Command Prompt: Run as Admin, you get: C:\Users\Jim

Yes, and Wizard gets the same, only with his user name.

WTF is Wizard?

That would be me.

So don't call me Jim.  

FYI: I just tried it on a rig minus DeskScapes and the command prompt reads:  C:\Windows\System32>

It may be DS making the change somehow.

^^^^^^That the fuck is Wizard^^^^^^^

Didn't realize you two were married....

No, it's not. You both have something, be it a security app, tweak app or even malware preventing you from accessing Administrator rights. 

UAC turned off? We both have that.

Turn it on and reboot.

OK, If I use the run command, type in cmd.exe, I get the correct prompt with this in the title bar.

Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe

What? Why would I want to do a damn fool thing like that? UAC is Useless Annoying Crap.

I'll uninstall DeskScapes before I turn on UAC. Besides,it's a non-issue for me. I try not to break my computer to the point I need a command prompt. I was only confirming his results. Jim (soon to be my Ex) is the one with the problems.

Just fuckin' do it and then I'll tell you how to fix it correctly.

Ok, you have my attention...brb.

ok...

You may fire when ready.

Download, execute and apply 'Quiet Mode'. Reboot.

You are now afforded the protection of UAC without the prompts.

Are you planning on breaking anything else tonight?? 

Ever heard of Team Viewer? Give me 20 minutes on your rig....lol!!

Yrag, most of DesktopX will not work with UAC on. Performance Meters gives an error that it can't run while UAC is enabled.

Now, you may not know this, but I own the DesktopX gallery.   I need DesktopX to work.

So, is there another work around?

As far as I can tell, UAC protects my PC from me, which I usually don't need.

Actually, that's not true. There are no other work arounds.

That said, it's a trade off. You'll have to decide what you need to work and live with whatever downside that leaves you with.
