Command Prompt

I have downloaded a windows xp version of the cmd.exe because I can't find a windows 7 version. I tried the sfc /scannow command but it says the restore process failed to start or something like that. Should I njust use the cmd.exe that I downloaded?

It is working now. Thank you so much for your time and effort.

Hello, I tried each of the methods to open a command prompt not as an administrator, and each of the methods resulted in me getting a command prompt window as an administrator. Does this mean I have a setting somewhere to make the command prompt open as an administrator of which I am not aware? Advice to resolve this would be appreciated. (Windows 7 Home)

I can run Diskpart.

The main reason I wanted to run the command prompt not as an administrator was because I wanted to run the ASP.NET Configuration tool in VS2013 and I found a blog that included instructions to do so.
Accessing the ASP.NET Web Configuration Tool in Visual Studio 2013 - .NET Web Development and Tools Blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

However, I decided when I need the ASP.NET configuration tool I will use it in VS2012, then resume my work in VS2013. It is a simple solution. So now there is no need to run the cmd not as an admin, except for knowledge sake, which is optional at this point.

If you happen to know what would cause one to always run the command prompt as an admin it would be appreciated. I think at one time, I may have tinkered with some settings thinking as a web developer I'd "always" want to run as an admin to do my work, so I might as well set the thing to do so, but it's been so long that I don't recall how to undo the setting, or even what settings I may have changed.

Appreciate the help.
