While we are on the subject of configuration, it’s important to note that some of your
programs will be affected by the new User Account Control (UAC). Because User Account
Control restricts a lot of actions that many programs could previously have performed
without obstacle, many legacy applications run afoul of these new security measures.
Enabling programs to get around these restrictions is easy to do, but you have to make
an extra effort to run these tools and applications with administrative credentials. It’s
not so hard to do. You saw earlier in this chapter that it’s a simple matter of right-click-
ing whichever application or shortcut you want to run and then selecting the Run as
Administrator option.

Pinning the Command Prompt or any other frequently used program to the Start menu
is also an option. It’s then quickly available to right-click to run as administrator. It can
also be added to the Quick Launch, but most like saving space there for more frequently
used programs.
