Runas for Network Connection

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

How do I write a runas shortcut to the “control panel�. If this isn’t
possible, then I need a shortcut to “network connections�. What I wrote in
the shortcut window for the location doesn’t work: \runas.exe
/user600-Rich\Administrator "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe
::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\::{7007acc7-3202-11d1-aad2-00805fc1270e}". How can I get this to work?

Your command will almost get you there... explorer can't be running twice. So you have two options:

1. change it to point to IE instead of explorer.exe:
[cpp]%SystemRoot%\system32\runas.exe /user600-Rich\Administrator "%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -nohome"[/cpp]

You can then put a local address into the URL bar (like c:\) and browse your machine as an admin. OR:

2. You can open a command prompt and enter:
[cpp]%SystemRoot%\system32\runas.exe /user600-Rich\Administrator explorer.exe[/cpp]

BUT, before you enter your password, open task manager, find explorer.exe in your running processes, and then enter your password in the cmd window. This option is probably better when trying to access the control panel.
