    Hello All,

    I would like to know if there is a way to run a java program, requiring administrator priviledges, via the Windows command line.

    Normally you would right click and then select 'run as administrator' - but i would like to set this as a property on the command line, so that you dont have to right click every time. Is this possible?

    Create a new txtfile, pase this content:

    @echo Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") > %temp%\sudo.tmp.vbs
@echo args = Right("%*", (Len("%*") - Len("%1"))) >> %temp%\sudo.tmp.vbs
@echo objShell.ShellExecute "%1", args, "", "runas" >> %temp%\sudo.tmp.vbs
@cscript %temp%\sudo.tmp.vbs
    and save it as SUDO.cmd.

    Now copy the cmd to your system32 folder.

    When you now want to run a programm with admin rights type this:

    sudo cmd /k javaw.exe JAVA file

    Now accept the UAC prompt.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi harriet, there is a DOS command you can use to run as administrator in command line:

    runas /profile /user:administrator “Driver:\folder\program”

    For example, the administrator account is “AAA” and you want to run BBB.exe of C:\programs, you should do these following steps:

    1 Press Win key & R

    2 Input “CMD” in open box and click “OK”

    3 Input: runas /profile /user:AAA “C:\programs\BBB.exe”  and press “Enter”

    4 Input the password of administrator AAA

    5 Press “Enter”

    Hope it works.

    I can't find the link to the German forum/blog any longer.

    Use this tool instead:

    http://nircmd.nirsoft.net/elevate.html

    nircmd elevate notepad.exe C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\HOSTS

    I don't like manually adding files to any folder under Windows unless absolutely necessary. Instead I added this (and other small utilities/scripts) to C:\Toolbox\ and added that to my %PATH% system environment variable. Is there a downside to this that made you choose System32 instead?

    While this will run as the user named "administrator" this will NOT run with an administrative run-space token as per the UAC environment. (As occurs when you right click and choose "run as administrator"

    Hi harriet, there is a DOS command you can use to run as administrator in command line:

    runas /profile /user:administrator “Driver:\folder\program”

    If you actually need elevated privileges this will not work. It should therefore not have been marked as the accepted answer, especially not by the person writing the answer.

    I had this working only problem is that the new CMD window stays open until launched app is terminated, therefore my batch does not continue.

    http://nircmd.nirsoft.net/elevate.html <-- this however rules!

    I'm here to learn.
