Whenever I want elevated rights (via the Windows 7 User Access Control dialog), I need to input the [LaptopLocalName]\administrator. Because the user is in the domain, you cannot even just type administrator without a domain prefix.
Windows 7 does not seem to cache the suggested entries. Together with the password this amounts to a lot of typing.
Any chance to put a list of "favorite admin users" into the registry or policies?
Good workaround. Ditto (the first suggestion in the article) has been a huge help for me in loads of situations, including ones like this. Can't live without it. – outsideblasts – 2009-10-26T17:54:59.607
The problem with the clipboard approach is that the UAC prompt blocks all interaction with other programs (at least it should), to protect it from scripting. That could make it a little difficult to select the right entry. Clipboard pasting generally seems to work though. – till – 2009-10-27T08:09:48.917
