Alternatively, in the Start Menu search edit box, type cmd, and then
press Control-Shift-Enter. That will bring up a UAC prompt. Press Alt-Y,
and you'll be in an elevated command prompt. You can use the
Control-Shift-Enter trick to elevate any selected item in the Start Menu.

Hey Guys,
I'm using WE 7.2 and Vista Home Premium. I want to find out how much
disc space is devoted to shadow storage, which seems to be what
people call the space devoted to System Restore. From what I've been
able to find out from Google, unlike in XP and Windows 7, I have to
use the Command prompt to do this in Vista. According to what I've
read, before I can issue the command to find how much storage is
allocated, I have to choose Run As Administrator from some drop down
menu that is supposed to appear when I'm in the Command prompt
screen. However, I cannot seem to find this menu. I've tried the
usual methods for finding a menu, the alt key and shift-f10, but
nothing appears. I cannot even find any indication of any menu with
the mouse pointer.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this menu to appear? I've
tried the command to tell me how much shadow storage is allocated,
just to see what would happen, and indeed, it seems that, even though
I can install programs and change other settings, I do not have the
privellege to run the command to inform me of how much shadow storage
I have. I may or may not want to adjust it, but I first need to find
out how much it is in the first place.
Or, is there some accessible utility that I can get that will let me
find out this information, and should I decide to do so, adjust the
amount of space allocated?
Thanks for any help with this.
Evan
