When right-click a.ps1 file and select 'Run with Powershell', the.ps1 file will be run in powershell with no elevation. And 'Run this program as administrator' checkbox grayed out in the properties of Powershell.exe, no matter UAC is on or off. I've made a shortcut to cmd.exe, but can't get it to run as administrator. I go into advanced properties of the shortcut and put a checkmark next to 'Run as administrator', then click 'okay'. When I go back into advanced, the checkmark is gone. Why can't I run cmd or powershell as administrator?
I'm running Windows 7, and recently installed the update so I can use Powershell 3.0. That process went fine and I've been using Powershell 3 for about a month now. One thing I noticed is that every time I run Powershell now, it runs with elevated privileges. I don't right click and Run As Administrator, I just do a normal left click. This happens when I run from the Start Menu, or when it's pinned to the task bar or however I start it. This never happened with Powershell 2.
I've done nothing special to make it always run as Admin, as I don't want to always run as Admin. Does anyone have any suggestions of things I can check?
