Run Vista Command Line as Admin

Don’t let the OS limit command-line rights

Typing cmd in the Start menu’s search box will bring up the familiar command-line window, but depending on your machine’s confi guration, you might be stuck in a restricted mode even if you’re logged in as an administrator. To launch an unrestricted Admin command line, type cmd at Start, then press Ctrl-Shift-Enter. You can also do this by right-clicking the CMD.exe result in the search box and selecting Run as Administrator in the drop-down menu. You’ll notice you’re in Admin mode by the Administrator prefi x in the window’s title bar. Now you can move and copy fi les and folders from the command line and run system tools such as msconfig; by default these privileges are locked out.
