A basic Win 7 question

Guest2 · 7 May 2011 at 16:25

Can Programs & features be ran with elevated privileges? I.e using the run as, either through elevated command prompt, shortcut or with the use of another program?

I might be going blind...

right click on programs and fewatures only shows 3 options.

I created a shortcut and advanced properties the run as administrator is greyed out

Do it before you make the shortcut.

Right click programs & Features > Presented with the following

Open
Open in a new window
Create shortcut

So how would I carry our repairs on say, 6 different programs like Office 2003 along with 3 or 4 custom office addons?

How am I not making sense -

I work for company that is getting Windows 7 & Office 2010
Users will not have local admin rights for security
I need to carry our repairs/removal of software that is in programs and features (without logging them off all their work, RDPing on as myself and then doing the fixes. This will take a lot of time compaired to carrying out the repairs as the user like you do in windows xp)

I have been told that an elevated command prompt cannot be used to run programs and features

Is there a way?
