| | "Elevated Command Prompt"? Running Vista Ultimate 64-bit, in Classic Mode. Logged in as Administrator. Several instructions (how to flush the DNS cache, for example) call for an elevated command prompt, or running from an elevated command prompt. Common instructions say Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Run as Administrator. Using the Classic menu mode, when I get to System Tools there is no option to Run as Administrator. How can I get to the "Elevated Command Prompt" level? Thanks. -- ---------- CWLee Former slayer of dragons; practice now limited to sacred cows.

| | Re: "Elevated Command Prompt"? To permanently set the command prompt on the start menu to elevated, use the rightclick 'properties'. To do it once, rightclick the command prompt icon on start, and click 'run as administrator'. -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.
