Can't right-click a BTM

Jul

If I double-click a btm file that is in the root folder (C:\) it runs fine. But if I right-click and try to run same as administrator, I get an error:

This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action.

Why? How do I fix this?
 
Sounds like your administrator account is a completely different one than your non-administrator one. Run TCC as administrator, change to the install folder, and then run the BTM file that sets up the file associations, which will apply them to that account. Or log into Windows as that administrator and then run the association BTM file.
 
I tried running tccbatch, and it ran and said it set the associations, but I got the same error when I tried right-clicking again.
 
The last time I looked, TCCBATCH does not set a RunAs verb. Would be a good feature to add, though.
 
Not tested, but try something like this from an elevated TCC:

Code:
set assoc=%@assoc[.btm]
echo %@regcreate[HKCR\%assoc\shell\runas\command]
echo %@regset[HKCR\%assoc\shell\runas\command\,REG_SZ,"%_cmdspec" /C "%%1" %%*]
 
Code:
@echo off

One just needs to change tcmd.exe to tcc.exe in the inline TCMDHere.btm...

It will also be sure you are running it as administrator...
