Re: Application to be called - runas Administrator

Go get cpau.exe from joeware.net first off, runas wont accept a password passed to it, you will be asked to supply it, sever limitation.
The cpau utility can also encode a batch file to be used.

you can run the script through MS script encoder, but this is easily decoded
if someone really wants to.
you could write the script in 'C' using a bunch of "system()" calls... that
would give you an exe
