Run """nircmd"" elevate ""<xy>"" /ini=""<xyini>"" ""<curpath>""";Completely agree and support! I have it on my USB drive with me as well. Excellent stuff! It's a bit of overkill but I also have GEGeek Tech Toolkit just in case zombie apocalypse. Although XYplorer during a zombie apocalypse should be my primary tool...PeterH wrote:If thinking of nircmd: use WSCC (Windows System Control Center) - it includes many many tools, also nircmd. It really can be helpful!

) feature of WE.Explorer is not the only one. CPAU ( http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/cpau/index.htm ) can do the same thing. But it won't be able to do the reverse on NT 6.x, i.e. where there's UAC - starting something elevated from an unelevated environment.SammaySarkar wrote: (edit) Don't ask me why explorer can start things in unelevated mode FROM WITHIN an elevate program.
