Run Visual Studio 2012 as administrator every time


As a developer I spend my life inside Visual Studio. Since I installed Windows 8, I was having trouble opening web projects. Turns out that I need to run Visual Studio as an administrator.

Rather than right clicking the shortcut every time and another click to run as administrator, I found a permanent solution. For the lazy me, it saves two extra clicks.

Open properties of the shortcut to Visual Studio 2012, go to Shortcut tab.


Click on Advanced and then check Run as administrator checkbox.


Yipppie !!!
