I need help in making my jar to ask for admin rights on load,when I run my jar file it does some manipulations to the system content(c:),But i have to run the application with admin rights. I tried using command prompt and it is working fine but it is painful to always load the jar into command prompt ,so I want to make my jar ask for admin previlages when it is launched :),No alternatives please. Thank you..

You can't make the jar ask for admin access.

Instead, create a shortcut to java.exe -jar myjar.jar, then edit the shortcut properties, click the "Advanced..." button and check "Run as administrator".

Now, double-clicking the shortcut to run your jar file will always run as administrator.

    With your right hand, move the mouse to a blank space on your desktop. Now, with your right middle finger, click the right mouse button. With your right hand, move the mouse down the popup menu, until the mouse is over the "New" entry. With your right hand, move the mouse to the right and then down, until the mouse is over the "Shortcut" entry. With your right index finger, click the left mouse button. Using fingers of your choice, type the text `java.exe -jar myjar.jar`, replacing `myjar.jar` with the fully qualified name of your jar file. *(...cannot say more in a single comment...)* – Andreas Feb 28 '18 at 05:47
