Small Feature Request: Trim "Administrator"

[Raymond Bennett]

In Vista+, when you open an administrator command prompt, it shows "Administrator: WINDOWTITLE". Because of the tabs, all I really see is Administrator, and I was wondering if
1. We could have an option of removing the Administrator text
2. We could color Administrator tabs in a different color?

Thanks

> 1. We could have an option of removing the Administrator text
Unfortunately, it will break the design IMHO. As a weak attempt to be more helpful, have you tried playing with Settings -> Appearance -> "Use tab titles" and "Use console window title"?

2. We could color Administrator tabs in a different color?
There is almost no point in doing that. Because there is a good chance that all the tabs share the same user. This is only a theory [and my experience with multiple tabs, but all of them are cmd.exe]. It's also kind of difficult to do. How do I know when to remove the "Administrator:" and when not? I can't just strip of "Administrator:" from the title because it may be there as a result of the following command, executed from cmd.exe:

title Administrator: Console

Do you have any reference to a doc that explains how to figure out whether the cmd.exe is launched as Administrator? That might help.

Thanks!

I just added to my Tracher artifact (2547030), which also asks for #1. Basically: give us the option, and if we enable it, we are asking that the prefix always be removed, even if it's the result of an explicit "title" command. Thanks!

Just realized that the part, starting with "It's kind of difficult to do" applies to the item 1.

Sorry about the confusion.

In my custom build for my Vista64 machines I just searched for "Administrator" in the window title and replaced it with "*".
