I followed these instructions (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12257110/can-you-force-visual-studio-to-always-run-as-an-administrator-in-windows-8) to force my Visual Studio 2012 to always run as administrator in Windows 8:
- Select "Troubleshoot program"
- Check "The program requires additional permissions"
- Click "Next"
- Click "Test the program..."
- Wait for the program to launch
- Click "Next"
- Select "Yes, save these settings for this program"
- Click "Close"
However, now I want to undo this and make it run as my account (i.e. without elevated permissions). How can I achieve this?
For those interested, the reason I want to go back is because some features (such as drag-and-drop files into VS, open files from Windows Explorer, etc.) no longer work.
To confirm, the drag and drop features don't work between applications at different privilege levels (e.g. Windows Explorer @ normal and Visual Studio @ Administrator, in my case). – oliver-clare – 2018-04-23T11:01:49.783
Its very likely the
drag and drop
feature never worked for you since its not disable on my home computer and I follow the same instructions. – Ramhound – 2013-02-07T12:08:04.910
