Windows developer command prompt says I'm not administrator when I am
So I started the Developer command prompt in windows, and ran it as an administrator by right-clicking and choosing 'run as administrator.' It says Administrator: Developer command prompt right up there at the top. But when I ran an sn command. Windows responded Failed to read [file] because Administrator permissions are needed... I have a screenshot attached. Is there something else I need to do besides run the command prompt as an administrator?

I see what I did. I was doing sn on a directory instead of a file. When I did it on the file it worked just fine.
