Run as administrator without command line?

#1 Post by brickablesmile »

I found an app that was designed to grant a limited account access to administrator rights, but requires .NET framework, sadly.

Does anyone know of a similar app, preferably truly portable, that doesn't require command line and can grant administrator rights?

Not portable, but ShellRunAs does not require .NET:

Hard to think of a portable app for this, since all I have come across register themselves as shell context menu handler.

I am not 100% sure, but you can probably use the "/reg" and "/unreg" commands to achieve some level of portability with ShellRunAs.
