With IE6 I could run it as an admin (use the run as a diffrent user) and be able to run programs and use the Control Panel. With IE7, it opens up a new window with the same rights that I have in my network login and I need local admin rights. I would just run the program that I need as an admin but I cant do this with Control Panel. How can I accomplish this?

To add to the first post, Im using XP SP3 on a Domain

Have you thought about using "runas" to start the it? BR

Thats whatI am talking about but it still opens a new window whenI type in a local computer adddress like C:\ orControl Paneland it still has the same rights as my network login.

I think "runas" is a tool that should solve this problem. At the moment I dont have another idea. runas /user:userXYZ@DOMAIN "mmc.exe" This mmc will be run with the rights of userXYZ. When there is another way Im interested, too.
