About this tag
The 'open as' tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about opening files or applications with elevated privileges, specifically using the 'open as administrator' option. Users ask how to run programs like text editors as an administrator, often when standard permissions are insufficient. The tag also touches on broader questions about logging in as the built-in administrator account. Common themes include right-click context menu options, user account control, and troubleshooting permission issues in Windows. If you need to run a program with full system access, the 'open as' tag provides guidance on using the administrator option effectively.

    Windows 8 running as administrator

    How do I open a new text file as an administrator? I use to be able to right click on the text icon in the start menu and "open as administrator." More generically, is there a way to log in as the administrator? I'm the only one using this PC.
