Vista Tutorial - elevate privilege

I use powershell for most operations and would like to know if there's a way
to execute a program with elevated privileges. For instance, is there a way
to launch Process Explorer under Vista with Elevated Privileges?

Yep, you could use a 'runas' flag with "ShellExecute" eg ....

$Shell = New-Object -ComObject "Shell.Application"
$Shell.ShellExecute("notepad.exe",$null,$null,"runas")

And a shortcut that can do this? For instance, run-elevated
e:\bin\procexp.exe? I would like to add the command to a profile script and
sign it. Can you please indicate how to sign a script using the default
certificates or vendor supplied certificates?

Not sure what you mean by a 'shortcut'. If you have set up a suitable
registry association with .ps1 files then you can click on one or a
shortcut to it eg containing these 2 lines

$Shell = New-Object -ComObject "Shell.Application"
$Shell.ShellExecute("e:\bin\procexp.exe",$null,$null,"runas")




I would like to add the command to a profile script and
You use 'Set-AuthenticodeSignature' for this with a suitable certificate
