DJ,
If you like, I have a version of this context menu in the tutorial below that uses the "Runas" key instead that will work without this character name limitation. It'll work in Windows 10 as well.

Thanks for info :) anyway but the folder contains the symbol " ' " it's very rarely and now if i know this "limitation" it's not a big problems this little trouble :)
How to make it as cascade context menu? i was using "flyout" and "SubCommands"="" the cmd open but not working as Administartor
Currently, Open command window here as administrator is only a single item, so it wouldn't make much sense to cascade it unless you wanted other related items in it.
Prior to doing this I had added TakeOwnership to the context menu. Adding this works but it removes the TakeOwnership and vice versa. Is there away I can have both ? This is the registry code for TakeOwnership is:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]@="Take Ownership""Icon"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\imageres.dll,-78""NoWorkingDirectory"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command]@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f "%1" && icacls "%1" /grant administrators:F""IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f "%1" && icacls "%1" /grant administrators:F"[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]@="Take Ownership"

Hello @jmsnyc,
If you like, you could use the "Take Ownership" context menu from the tutorial below instead that will allow you to have both since it doesn't use the "runas" key.
Great to know! My old Open Command Prompt Here was not working and I found this. Your posts are a treasure trove of windows info Thanks!!
BTW
Is there a way to customize the window title in the resulting window?
