Administrator rights under Vista
Microsoft has changed in Vista the user rights management.
Even if a user is logged on as administrator programs started by this user
are running without administrator rights by default.
Microsoft has planned that programs are running initially without administrator rights
even if they are started by an administrator. When the program requires higher rights for
a certain operation these rights are requested interactively. This allows the user
to recognize and control which operations are executed with administrator rights.
However it is more convenient to avoid the many confirmations for raising the user rights
and start a program like Boot-US directly with administrator rights.
This can be achieved as follows:
- Explorer: right click on program, then select "run as administrator" from the context menu
- Command-line window: press the key combination
"<Ctrl> + <Shift> + <Enter>" to start the program
