With IE6 from my limited account, I could launch it with admin
credentials, and then type "Control Panel" in the address bar and the
Panel opens with admin rights. Comes in handy without having to
acctually switch accounts.
However, since I decided to try out IE7, this little trick doesn't
work. I can get a Control Panel to open, but only if I launch IE7
normally -- no "Run as..." -- and then it opens in a separate
window. If I launch IE7 with "Run as..." and type "Control Panel" it
opens a separate My Computer window. Drilling down to the System32
folder in this window, I can launch the Control app only to find the
window doesn't have admin rights.
I also tried creating a shortcut on the desktop for Control Panel,
but it won't launch if I right-click and select "Run as..." or even
if I add runas to the shortcut command line. Or if I start a command
prompt with "Run as..." and type "control". I *can*, however, launch
individual panel applets from this admin command prompt and they each
have full admin rights.
So, long story short, any ideas on why the Control Panel itself won't
launch with different credentials? Any ideas for a work around?
