What I'm talking about is in XP I would just launch a command prompt with elevated privileges and then whatever needed privileges I would just drop right into that prompt and it would run with privileges. You can't do that with Vista by default, so I'm looking for a way to make it work like that in Vista. See for yourself, try to drag something into a command prompt, it won't work. Just make me wonder why they would do away with that in Vista.

I like doing it this way so I don't have to enter a password each time for something that needs privileges.
