RunAsAdmin is a small 32-bit program for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, that allows to run other programs with administrative privileges. It is especially well suited for use on portable devices such as USB drives.
Installation is not required, just unpack the files in
the ZIP archive to a directory.
RunAsAdmin doesn't add entries to the Windows
registry, nor does it alter anything else on the system.
Just delete the files.
Command: RunAsAdmin <program> [options]
[options] means here possible options of the program which is going to
be launched. RunAsAdmin itself doesn't have
any command-line options.
Some programs can only be run with administrative privileges.
Then RunAsAdmin is the right program for you.
Notes:
When the program ends, it returns one of the following status codes to
the operating system. E.g. batch programs can read this value using the
ERRORLEVEL feature:
0 RunAsAdmin
was successfully completed.
1 No program given on the
command-line.
2 The given program could not
be found.
3 The "Run As" dialog was
aborted by the user, or the
Windows service "Secondary Logon" is not running.
4 Some other error has occured.
Under Windows 9x/ME systems (which do not have a concept of different
user accounts on the same machine) RunAsAdmin
always launches the respective program immediately without further inquiry.
Under Windows NT, the same happens when you are logged in as an
administrator. When you are logged in as a normal user,
RunAsAdmin currently does not work under
Windows NT. If necessary, this might be changed in a later version.
