Windows 8 - associate regsvr32 with dll type and always run as administrator

1

I'm using Windows 8. I'd like to associate the file type DLL to regsvr32, so that I can double click a DLL and register it. The problem is that regsvr32 is not running as administrator. So, what I need is when I double click a DLL it runs regsvr32 as administrator automatically . Any sugestions? Thanks a lot.

IMO this sort of association is not a great idea. – Karan – 2013-04-30T13:15:55.850

@Karan Why do you think so? I've never had problems with that. – Ricardo – 2013-04-30T15:38:21.887

I'm no security expert, but somehow enabling regsvr32 to be run as admin automatically and allowing just any DLL to be registered with elevated rights doesn't sound too secure to me. – Karan – 2013-04-30T15:44:32.657

Maybe that's the reason I can't find a way to do that :) Thanks for your comment – Ricardo – 2013-04-30T16:22:56.760
