Hello,

- Make a shortcut to your cmd.exe (CTRL+SHIFT+F5) - usually it is located at C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
- Right click in the new shortcut > Options > Avanced options > Check run as administrator.
- Make a new extended command (cm_CommandBrowser) > usercmd.ini > New...
- In command field put the path to the new shortcut.

Please note that that tab changes global compatibility options for CMD.exe and not only for created link file.

But it is possible to use my Sudo.exe tool for this task as I use it: command Sudo.exe with parameter CMD.exe.

Also if you create BAT file you will have possibility to setup compatibility options just for that BAT file.

Hello MVV,

Please note that that tab changes global compatibility options for CMD.exe and not only for created link file.

hmmm... I can't get the behavior described by you. If I run cmd.EXE, then it is opened as a normal user and if I launch "CMDasAdmin.LNK" it is launched as administrator (with the corresponding elevation prompt).
This was done/tested under W7 Home premium.

Hmmm... Perhaps MS changed this thing, in XP compatibility properties are common for file and all its links and stored in special registry key.
Anyway, thing will work if you create bat-file and set compatibility options for it.

Sudo.exe doesn't know %COMMANDER_PATH%

Workaround is here.

I defined a user cmd: em_Sudo and used it in a button but I found it didn't work, why?

Oops... How do you get COMMANDER_PATH if you use em_sudo? What command and parameters did you specified for it? I don't think out how em_sudo may be better than just button with command sudo.exe <command> - it doesn't allow you to enter parameters. If you want to run file under cursor, you need to create em_sudo with command sudo.exe and parameter %P%N. How do you want to use your em_sudo?
