Re: Vista/7 permissions for script?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


I run all scripts from a command prompt and when I need elevated
privileges
I launch cmd.exe from a shortcut on my desktop by right clicking the
shortcut and selecting "Run as administrator".


You never use drag-drop scripts or HTAs?
Or do you start an HTA from command line
in cmd.exe?

Is it really true that Vista/7 simply will not allow
anyone, under any conditions, total control over
the system? That implies quite a radical transition
in the Windows product, whereby the PC owner
is really only a guest who happens to own the
hardware, with Microsoft themselves maintaining
the software -- and the job of admin being simply
to oversee employee restrictions.
I've noticed that a lot of network
admin types like to operate DOS-style/mouse-
free, but a big part of VBS is the ability to use
it in Explorer, with mouse and GUI options. If Vista/7
is as restrictive as it seems then I wonder about
the usability of the WSH at all, at least for the
sorts of things that I use it for.
