I would suggest that you make a new entry here: https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php?title=Shell_extensions_and_addons

Or perhaps one level higher: https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php?title=Tools

Here is my suggestion for "nircmdc.exe elevate", which adds a button to
buttonbar to Open elevated command line in current dir:

Code: Select all

Command: %COMMANDER_PATH%\addons\NirCmd\nircmdc.exe elevate
Parameters: cmd /k cd %P && %B+
It calls elevated cmd.exe, changes to directory in param %P (i.e. "f:\xxx\yyyy\") and goes
to the drive used in the path param (here %B+ is f:).
Thre is no need for the NirSoft tool here.
There is already a right click option "As Administrator" if you add a CMD button in TC.
Also you can start any tool with enhanced rights from a TC buton if you prefix the path with "*"
Many thanks to both of you. However, configuration only opens
cmd as admin.

My solution executes the selected file as admin.

It's slightly different.

2pplupo,
sometimes I want to execute system command lines or any other command line tools
which take many arguments/parameters in an elevated console window.

There I can see the command output, and I can easily repeat and modify the
command line with ctrl+arrow-up/down.
Or I increase letter size with ctrl+mouse-weel for a better view.

I didn't mean that your proposal is not useful, it's just that it's not the same as what I was trying to do. :-)
