UAC, Admin rights & file associations
Posted: Sun Nov 14, 2010 5:30 am
hello
It seems I specifically need to start up xnview by its shortcut or executable & select "run as administrator" so that I can change file associations
is that normal behavior ? (If I don't do that, file association changes fail silently ...)
I'm asking because, I saw some applications which readily pop up a UAC confirmation on the fly when doing such tasks.
It's not really an issue, I'm just wondering whether or not I did something wrong while installing it.
thanks.
