Cmder: Context Menu "Cmder Here" Run as admin - Is this possible?

Created on 4 Jul 2015 · 5Comments · Source: cmderdev/cmder

I've been trying to get the right click context menu "Cmder Here" to open at the current path with administrator privileges. Is this possible?

I've edited the cmd startup task by adding a * as follows:

*cmd /k "%ConEmuDir%..\init.bat" -new_console:d:%USERPROFILE%

However this opens the cmd menu in my home directory rather than at the current path. Any ideas?

You can either:

Change the Cmder.exe file privilege level in Properties > Compatibility > Run as administrator; or
Prepend * to the default {cmd} task in Settings > Startup > Task. So it will be *cmd /k "%ConEmuDir%\..\init.bat" . . . after.

My context menu works as administrator. I don't remember if running /REGISTER ALL after changing the startup task did anything, but try that. What I also did was adjust the properties->compatibility in Cmder.exe to 'run as administrator'. If you don't care too much about running as a standard user, that might fix it.
