Comments on: Question: Is there anywhere to run a command from the Run box "AS" an Administrator or other user?. http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/07/question-is-there-anywhere-to-run.html Fri, 03 Feb 2012 06:08:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: El Di Pablo http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/07/question-is-there-anywhere-to-run.html/comment-page-1#comment-1181 El Di Pablo Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:29:00 +0000 http://ata.bansal-inc.com/?p=193#comment-1181 I just stumbled on this one... Does the command line "runas" command not work in vista? In windows XP you can type the following to run cmd (and anything else):<br/><br/><b>runas /user:%username% %command%</b> i.e.<br/><br/><b><i>runas /user:jdoe cmd</i></b><br/><br/>A command prompt will pop up asking for the password, then voilla, you are running your app (in this case the command prompt) as Admin.
