7-zip context menu problems on Windows 7 64 bit
« on: October 09, 2010, 08:23 AM »
Hi there,

I have a problem with 7-zip program on my personal computer, that runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
If I try to create a new zip file or to extract from a zip file by using the context menu (anywhere on the computer), I get the following error: "The requested operation requires elevation. C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zG.exe"

The problem would seem to be admin related ... what happens if you set explorer to run/launch as a seperate process ? maybe the 2nd process will have different rights.

Under TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS.

 see this link for explanation and how-to http://malektips.com/windows-7-explorer-separate-process.html


This solution assumes u execute your context menu command from an explorer window tho, probably.
