How to use RunAs without password prompt?

Hi!

I tried to use RunAs to start and program as admin.
After entering this command:

RunAs.exe /user:Administrator "regedit.exe"

it shows prompt to enter password.

Is possible to override password prompt by any way?
Or enter password in command?

Thank you for help.

Are you logged into an account with admin privilege?

I have only one account and it's admin acccount.

I have UAC turned off.
What a purpose is to run any program as admin:
I want to add to context menu of desktop, drive and folder run as admin 2 cmd alternatives to access selected destination as admin.
Instead:
Console.exe "%1"
use command which starts it as admin.
Of course edited by Registry Editor.

PS: you can check the status of the built-in administrator account by typing "net user administrator" at an administrative command prompt or in an administrative PowerShell session.

As the SID for the local Administrator is a constant, I use the following PowerShell cmdlet (as part of a diagnostic script that appends to a text file):

Code:

Get-WmiObject Win32_useraccount | Where-Object {$_.SID -like '*-500'} | Select Name, Disabled

(Of course, you can always omit Name from the Select statement to make it even shorter.)

Hope this helps...

I don't know if it helps, really I meant that it is easier to start program as admin from command line...

1. Create a shortcut to the Registry Editor then right-click on the shortcut and choose Properties.
2. Click on the Advanced button (a) then put a tick in the Run as administrator checkbox (b).
3. Click on each of the OK buttons to dismiss the dialogs.



Alternatively, you can also use tools like AutoHotkey to run programs elevated. For example, the following also runs the Registry Editor as Administrator:

Code:

; Prompt to 'Run as Admin', i.e. elevated
If Not A_IsAdmin
{
   Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%"  ; Requires v1.0.92.01+
   ExitApp
}

Run %windir%\regedit.exe
Exit

Hope this helps...

Even I'm using and creating AHK scripts...
I think we lost main problem - please forgive me that's not at beginning of thread.

So, why and what I need?

I need to add to context menu of drive, desktop, folder opening two cmd.exe alternatives (Take Command and Console) as admin.
I have in context menu of these destinations cmd.exe yet - but it's downloaded from web, not my work.

For making it more clear here's context menu of folder background (empty place of File Explorer opened folder):
key:

Code:

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\runas\command

value:

Code:

cmd.exe /s /k pushd "%V"⧹

Other destinations are similar or the same.
