Dan, There's some program I use regularly, I forget which, that doesn't like 'switch users'. I found that out in the early days of using XP and so disabled it. > I've also been known to start command prompts with "run as..." > administrator. I presume you mean something like runas nameofadminaccount j.exe assuming j.exe is in PATH or I use a FQFN. I try that, and bash returns a new line and then a command prompt.

I'll have to check that out when I get some time (not today unless I take a break I shouldn't take). Thanks.
