Fix for: how to run a powershell script as administrator
Here is one way of doing it, with the help of an additional icon on your desktop. I guess you could move the script someone else if you wanted to only have a single icon on your desktop. Create a shortcut to your Powershell script on your desktop Right-click the shortcut and click Properties Click the Shortcut tab Click Advanced Select Run as Administrator You can now run the script elevated by simple double-clicking the new shortcut on your desktop.
