| | Administrator Command Prompt I was going to run Defrag in the Command Prompt window, but it said I needed to do it in "Administrator Command Prompt." Apparently you have to get set up as Administrator at the command prompt. Right? |

| | Re: Administrator Command Prompt Well, after some searching, i found this site: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tec...t/default.aspx it appears to be a command line program "elevate" which you can use to run a command with admin privledges, i havn't used it yet, but it seems like it can solve your problem -masen "Dennis" <Dennis@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E391126C-E61B-4B13-BF1F-C1BE6231C749@xxxxxx Quote: > When I Right click on the Command Prompt shortcut there is no selection in > drop down to select "Run as Administrator".

| | Re: Administrator Command Prompt In the Accessories in All Programs, when you right click the Command Prompt shortcut, the second one down should be "Run as Administrator". That should be the one you want. If it is not there, let us know... There may be something else wrong there. -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.vistarip.com Dennis wrote: Quote: > When I Right click on the Command Prompt shortcut there is no selection in > drop down to select "Run as Administrator".
