We <\/span><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">hate it when we&#8217;re trying to perform a task in Windows 7  \t\t\t\t\t\tor Vista that requires you to run a Windows program that  \t\t\t\t\t\trequires you to use an elevated command prompt. If you  \t\t\t\t\t\tdon&#8217;t run an elevated command prompt you get the message  \t\t\t\t\t\tthat you &#8220;must be an administrator&#8221; to run it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"> <\/span>Here are two<span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"> quick and easy ways to open an elevated command prompt  \t\t\t\t\t\tin Windows Vista or Windows 7:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Method  \t\t\t\t\t\t#1 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">To open  \t\t\t\t\t\tan elevated command prompt, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">1.Press  \t\t\t\t\t\tthe Window key<br \/>\n2. Type cmd; press Ctrl+Shift+Enter; and then hit ALT+C  \t\t\t\t\t\tto confirm the elevation prompt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Method #2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the search bar at the  \t\t\t\t\t\tbottom of the start menu, type COMMAND and press Enter.  \t\t\t\t\t\tCommand prompt will appear at the top of the menu. Right  \t\t\t\t\t\tclick it an choose &#8220;Run as administrator&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><span>Here&#8217;s another tip.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"> You can change the command prompt window&#8217;s background  \t\t\t\t\t\tcolor and text color by typing f1 at the prompt. F1 will  \t\t\t\t\t\tturn the background white and the text color dark blue.  \t\t\t\t\t\tYou can use f4 if you prefer red text &#8211; or you can play  \t\t\t\t\t\taround with the number after f to give you different  \t\t\t\t\t\tcolors of text. For instance color f9 gives you a white  \t\t\t\t\t\tbackground with medium blue text. So you don&#8217;t have to  \t\t\t\t\t\tbe stuck looking at a plain, old black and white DOS  \t\t\t\t\t\tprompt window.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"> <span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/sale\/2011\/commander\/\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2011\/commander-small.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Regstry Commander\" width=\"196\" height=\"236\" align=\"left\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, 'Sans Serif';\"><strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/sale\/captain\/\">All Cloudeight  \t\t\t\tSubscribers save $20 off the regular price of Captain Optimizer!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, 'Sans Serif';\">We thought so highly of this  \t\t\t\tprogram and found it so useful, we made a deal with the  \t\t\t\tprogram&#8217;s developer so we could pass those savings on to you.  \t\t\t\tAnd right now,<a href=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/sale\/captain\/\"> you  \t\t\t\tcan save $20.00 off this fantastic program<\/a>&#8211;  \t\t\t\tour software program of 2010.
