<![CDATA[right click launch npp as administrator]]>I’m using the following in regedit:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Notepad++\command]
@=“"D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1"”

to add npp to right click, is there any way I could launch it as administrator?

Since the same answer will suffice, no matter the values of blah.exe or blah.bat, and it’s not a Notepad++ question, then you’ve asked in the wrong place

As a hint for finding the solution: I believe you need to look into “runas” for the registry, but I’m not 100% sure. Good luck googling.
