Elevated Program Shortcut - Create for Standard User

Layback Bear said:

Just seen this Tutorial and I love it. It allows me to do things on different drives only. If I create different partitions will I be able to select different partitions on different drives only?

Hello Jack,

Uh ??

Okay my brain had a fart session.
I will try again.
This Tutorial will work on any partition (E,F,G) I select no mater what disc drive (0,1,2) the partition is on.

As you know I sometimes get crazy.

The reason I ask is I'm trying to find out if I select F partition on Disk 1 and run a command will if effect any other partition like C on Disk 0.

Ah, ok. Yep, you can create an elevated shortcut to run whatever wherever. :)

Thank you Shawn.
I just wanted to be sure if I start tinkering on partition F with cmd prompt it didn't effect other partitions. I feel better now.

Anytime mate. :)

I'm not sure it'll work for a standard user, but this was what I was thinking as a workaround:

1. Create the elevated program shortcut that any user (ex: standard users) can run using the tutorial on the first page here, save it in a "C:\Users\Public" folder, and make sure it's working.
2. Next, use the tutorial below to create the first task to run the elevated program shortcut from 1 above.
3. When you get to step 23 using while still using the same tutorial below, use the "run at startup as a task" option to run the elevated program shortcut from 2 above created from the task.

The thinking behind this is that the shortcut from 1 actually runs as the Administrator instead of the standard user, so it may be able to run at startup for the standard user account when running it using 2 and 3. No guarantees, but it's worth a try.

What tutorial below ? :)

Sorry about that Chris. Here you go.

Elevated Program Shortcut without UAC Prompt - Create

How do I find the location of programs that are automatically starting up when windows boots ? The Start-up folder doesn't contain them. I want to find their location while they are in the taskbar flashing waiting for an administrator password.
