| | runas explorer /separate Hi, Using WinXP I was able to run an administrative shell from an normal user environment, through runas /user:administrator "explorer.exe /separate" In Vista business instead whenever that I use runas / user:administrator "explorer.exe /separate" from user cmd, the system return the following message: Attempting to start explorer.exe /separate as user "NOTEBOOK \Administrator" ... end after ...nothing! Using the same command without "separate" switch, I can see a new shell but with the same credentials of the user environment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! |

| | RE: runas explorer /separate This functionality has been deliberately disabled in Vista and above. Explorer is not designed to run in multiple instances. I wrote a tool to launch an elevated explorer instance since it is not built in. It ships with the Windows Server 2008 Security Resource Kit: https://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jes...-kit-done.aspx. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "docdreams@xxxxxx" wrote: Quote: > Hi, > > Using WinXP I was able to run an administrative shell from an normal > user environment, through > > runas /user:administrator "explorer.exe /separate" > > In Vista business instead whenever that I use runas / > user:administrator "explorer.exe /separate" from user cmd, the system > return the following message: > > Attempting to start explorer.exe /separate as user "NOTEBOOK > \Administrator" ... > > end after ...nothing! > > Using the same command without "separate" switch, I can see a new > shell but with the same credentials of the user environment. > > Any help would be greatly appreciated.
