Regular Users

Tend to sometimes get the “Error Code 5: Access Is Denied“, or the “Requested operation requires elevation” when using command prompt in Vista.

Command Prompt

There’s an easy way around this however!

Step 1:

Find Command Prompt in your start menu directory (Usually Start>>All Programs>> Accessories>>Command Prompt) and Right Click on it…

Step 2:

Click “Run as Administrator” in the menu. Command Prompt should open up normally, but when you try the same command again, it should work fine!

Running

If you aren’t the Administrator for the computer (You don’t have Administrator rights), then you may have to enter the Administrator’s passwordfor this to be successful.
