Hi Anthony,
You can use the Run As command to do this. Use this script:
http://msruniv.corp.bcentral.com/Shared%20Documents/runas_admin_script.vbs.txt
NOTE: The link may warp. If it does copy and paste it into your browser.
If you would like to encrypt it (recommended), then visit
http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting . Click on Downloads on the right side
of the page. Then choose Script Encoder
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If you need further instructions, see below:
Go to the link above and copy the everything there. Paste it into notepad.
Next, look below where it says ' in this example....., You will see
"\administrator cmd.exe". Change administrator to the administrator's user
name and change cmd.exe to the filename of the program that you want to run.
Then change YourPasswordHere to your account password.
Save the file with a .vbs extension and create a shortcut to it in the start
menu of the limited account.
If you would like to encrypt it so other users cannot view the contents of
the script and get your password, visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting.
Click on Downloads on the right side of the page. Then choose Script
Encoder.
