Winmerge app

[jmokie]

I am using winmerge to verify files before transfer to a NAS for backup.
I run Win11 as administrator,
Then select Winmerge and select run as administrator,
Then when I try to copy a file from one folder to another, I keep getting the message that I need adminstrator permissions to do it.
Driving me crazzy

Copy below code to notepad then save as ADMIN.REG .. run the registry file and restart computer, later use the menu as shown in my screenshot below .. hope this method will be helpful, please feedback the result
