Question : Shortcut to run application with local admin privileges.

I've got a program which from time to time needs to be run with local administrator privileges, I tried changing registry and folders permissions, but it seems that it just has to be run as admin .

So maybe I can change the shortcut to this application so it will be always run as another user ( with admin privileges ) ?

I cannot use the password in plain text like echo password | run as ... etc ..

Answer : Shortcut to run application with local admin privileges.

On above code, CMD will execute with your local admin user id and password.

Two more sample added.

Thanks
