Answer» <html><body><p>I have just joined this forum sowill say Hi to everyone. I have been surfing this forum for the last hour. It appeasrs to have some sharp moderators on board. I could use some advice I can not get command prompt to run as administrator. When I right click the cmd icon in start menu, and select “run as administrator” <strong>I get a message that states “This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/create-427332" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CREATE">CREATE</a> an association in the Set Association control panel.”</strong>If I select cmd properties and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/compatibility-2553" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMPATIBILITY">COMPATIBILITY</a> all the boxes are greyed out including the “run as administrator” in the privilege level section. So I can not change any selection.<br/>This used to work at one time but does not now. Thanks to all for any help.<br/><br/>Russ<br/><br/>Dell E-520<br/>160g hd<br/>2g ram<br/>Win Vista home premium 32 bit<br/>Why are you right clicking on Command Prompt (not cmd, I assume), instead of just clicking? Are you not an Administrator?Thanks for reply<br/>I am right clicking the <strong>CMD</strong> icon in start menu. It does the same thing in C:\windows\system32\cmd in explorer. If i click on the "Reliability &amp; Performance Monitor" icon it works normally.<br/>Yes I am admin. <br/>RussAm I missing something? Where is CMD icon in Vista Start menu?<br/>You can run CMD only when you're an Administrator, so what's the point to click on "Run as Administrator"?Re: CMD Run as Admin. <br/>Broni<br/>I have always had cmd on my main vista start menu as well as all programs\accessories. As I stated before I have also tried it from explorer C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe.I have always been able and still can run cmd by left clicking but this does not give admin privileges. I believe the problem is connected to the selection of cmd properties and compatibility greyed out “run this program as administrator”box in the in the privilege level section. <br/>Also in vista if you select a "cmd" in the vista start/search box it will display the cmd icon at the top when you press enter. This normal.<br/><br/>The problem is no matter where I right click the cmd icon it always gives me the message that states “<strong>This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Association control panel.”</strong><br/>The cmd "run as admin" ran OK up until a few week ago but stopped for some reason.<br/>Russ <br/>It looks to me, like you lost for some reason your administrative rights.<br/>Can you perform any other administrative tasks?<br/>Did you <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/try-1428546" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TRY">TRY</a> to create new profile?<br/>Did you try <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/system-238321" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SYSTEM">SYSTEM</a> Restore?I can run reliability and performance monitor and certain others but not many.<br/>I have not tried restore. Not sure how far to go back. Might try next.<br/>I think I have tried new profile. Please reply with steps needed for doing so.<br/>Thanks <br/>RussWith System Restore go as far, as possible, since you don't state when your problem started.<br/><br/>How to create new user in Vista:<br/><a href="http://www.lockergnome.com/windows/2006/12/05/create-a-new-user-account-in-vista/">http://www.lockergnome.com/windows/2006/12/05/create-a-new-user-account-in-vista/</a>You have to be an administrator if you want to create a user account, which might be a problem for him.<br/><br/><br/>Do you know the password for the Administrator account?Quote</p><blockquote>which might be a problem for him.</blockquote>Let's see.Thanks Broni<br/>I have changed between standard and Admin.
