Moving a large ammount of single files with administrator privalges

Post by *poter1402 »

I want to move a lot of files that are spread out through multiple folders into one that requires admin privileges. But every time i move a single file there is a popup saying that it requires admin. Is there a way to bypass that popup?

You can run Total Commander itself with administrator rights. The easiest way to do this is via a button with the command
CM_EXIT 17

You should only run it as administrator rights as long as you need to copy these files. All programs launched from a program with administrator rights will also have administrator rights, so please be careful!

Did you try the button "All as Administrator" ?

I don't think that this would help them, they write that the files are spread out through multiple folders. But maybe they could make a search for these files and then copy them all in one operation.

I assumed that this was already the case.
