| | I downloaded the short cut and followed all of your instructions but the command prompt still opens with "C:\Windows\System32". I followed you instructions and went into the short cuts tab "advance" but my run as administrator was already checked. Any suggestions |

| | Hello Lartomar, I'm not sure what you mean. That's what it's suppose to open to in a elevated command prompt. See the example screenshot at the top of the tutorial. If your's is different, then please post a screenshot of it. |

| | I thought this was the tutorial I needed, maybe it is not.. I would like for the command prompt to open with "C:\Users\(user name). I am trying to ping a set top box(Boxee Box) that is on my network. |

| | Ah, ok. You can use the same shortcut, but just uncheck the Run as administrator box instead for to have it open unelevated to that location. You should also have one in your Start Menu by default at All Programs -> Accessories. |

| | I took a different approach to this. I created a batch file with the runas command and placed a shortcut named "su" pointing to the batch file in c:\windows so I can now press win + r and type su to get to my admin prompt. It still requires a password so it is totally secure and I set the path to my commands folder that I keep my batch files in so that I can use "su" in the command prompt.
