The Single Regedit to Run Notepad as an Administrator In the same way that we hacked Command Prompt for the greater good, we can effortlessly make Notepad run as an administrator. After making any changes, you will receive a big message saying that you don’t have rights to save this file. To see what I mean, try editing a file (script, txt, ini, etc) in a protected location like Program Files or System32.
This praise stops when UAC is involved though.
Like you, I use Notepad all of the time for simple edits.
