Switch to non-elevated program from elevated prompt
Hi,
I use an administrative mode (elevated) command prompt to maneuver through most of my day. I have a code editor (in this case, Crimson Editor) open at all times, and when I need to edit a file quickly, I simply type
cedt <filename>
at the command prompt.
What is happening in Win10 - which is different behavior from Win7 - is... nothing! Crimson Editor was started from the Startup folder as non-elevated, and so when I type that command in the administrative prompt, focus changes to Crimson Editor, but the requested file is not loaded!
If I open a regular cmd prompt and try the above command, it runs as expected, and as it did in administrator mode in Win7. Is there some setting I can add/change to make this work?
I also note that Win10 does not start programs from the startup folder if they have been set (in Properties) to run as Administrator, so starting Crimson Editor by hand at every reboot is possible but annoying. Thanks!
