Ok so, today I tried to edit my hosts file [c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts] but when I tried to save it premission was denied. I had to open notepad as admin and only then was able to save it.
Is there a way to not have to do that ? if I don't care much about security ? I have an anti-virus and I'm the only user of my PC, so as far as I'm concerned that's enough. I think it's just a nuisance to have to click that.
Is there anyway to truly become an admin without having to click that or ask for permissions ?
I saw http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/9650-built-administrator-account-enable-disable-windows-8-a.html?filter[1]=User%20Accounts
But logging in to that account makes me lose all my settings and that tutorial says it makes metro apps not work, are there any better ways?
