Shortcut for executing XpanelDesigner as administrator
Creating a shortcut icon allows XpanelDesigner to be started more conveniently.
a) Go to the XpanelDesigner installation path. The default path is C:\ATIVA_XPANEL”. This path may differ based on your system environment.
b) Right-click the “XpanelDesigner” application file and click [Send to] – [Desktop (create shortcut)]. The shortcut icon for XpanelDesigner will then appear on the desktop.
c) Double-click the icon on the desktop to check if XpanelDesigner opens properly. If there are any saved projects from previous editing sessions, you can select a project to continue editing. Otherwise, you can select “New Project“, then “OK“ to create a new project. Alternatively, you can select “Cancel“ to open XpanelDesigner without choosing a project.
d) To use the simulator tool and other features, XpanelDesigner may need to be run as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the XpanelDesigner shortcut and choose [Run as administrator].
e) To make XpanelDesigner run as administrator by default, right-click on the shortcut, then choose [Properties].
f) In the [Properties] window, choose the [Shortcut] tab and press [Advanced…].
g) In the [Advanced Properties] window, check the [Run as administrator] box and press [OK].
h) From now on, whenever you double-click the desktop icon, XpanelDesigner will be opened with administrator privileges.
