SetExeToRunAsAdmin is a script that lets you manage administrator privileges for EXE files. You can specify the path of the EXE file using the -Path parameter. You can also set multiple EXE files to use wildcards to specify multiple files. Additionally, you can choose to modify the administrator setting for the current user or all users on the system using the -CurrentUser and -AllUsers parameters. To undo the administrator setting, use the -UnsetInstead parameter.

On any Windows machine, open PowerShell as Administrator and type...

Install-Script SetExeToRunAsAdmin

and accept the prompts.

This script is published on PowerShell Gallery.

The code is signed, so if you want to change it, just removed the # SIG # Begin signature block line and everything beneath it.
