Running everthing as Admin by default?

[an1997]

Hi,

As per title, is it possible to run everything as an Admin by default?

I am already using the default Administrator account.

Cheers.

Yes, of course.
But that is not recommended, because it´s dangerous.
If you use an ADMIN-account, then your computer is at risk because malware can access everything.
You should always use a normal USER-account, only use use the ADMIN-account for maintenance,
and do not surf the web while using the ADMIN-account.

Yes, via unattend.xml as such. This enables Administrator from the get go and you won’t be forced to create any extra accounts.

        





Enable Admin Account

1

net user administrator /active:yes

            







false

YOURPASSWORD+"PASSWORD"BASE64_ENCRYPTED_STRING == NOT_SAFE_FROM_CAPTAIN_COLDBLOC



Default Administrator Account

Administrator

Administrators

Administrator

            

true

Administrator

Not sure if you want blank password, but you can enable that in the registry, a quick search might turn up the exact .reg.

Not safe, but it can be done.

Depending on your security settings, even using the ‘Administrator’ account for everything might still be limited by split tokens or other built-in limitations.
