• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Immunize and Administrator rights under Vista

Q

Since Immunize requires Administrator rights under Vista, why does the button not prompt for elevated rights automatically? This would save having to go into the Start menu whenever I want to update the program.

In the meantime, is there any way to set up a shortcut that, when clicked on, will prompt for elevated rights automatically?
 
Yes,you could rightclick the Spybot shortcut,select Properties,click the Shortcut tab,click the Advanced button,put a checkmark beside Run As Administrator,click OK,then Apply,and OK.That way you'll be prompted for elevated rights automatically whenever you start Spybot using that particular shortcut.

Thanks. I see I can do this to the program file itself, thus forcing the icon in the system tray to prompt for elevated rights automatically.
 
You're welcome. :)
Yes,you should get the prompt for elevated rights from every shortcut,etc. after setting SpybotSD.exe to run as administrator in Program Files. :)
