I need to automatically launch a command window on reboot with admin priveleges.....

Here is basically what I need to do:

I run this program Folding@Home that can be run only in a console window (the high performance version of the program).

Here is what I do manually to make it run:
1. I launch a command window running it as the administrator.

2. I then cd to the root and then change to a folder in the root that has my program.

3. I type in the name of the executable with a flag - "fah -smp"

This console window stays running 24/7.

Note:
This particular high performance version of the program cannot be run as service on Vista. This means it has to be run in a console window.

How can I accomplish the above by having it do this automatically from the startup group whenever the pc reboots so that I don't have to do it manually? It only takes a couple of seconds to do it manually, however if I am not at the pc when it does a reboot, I want it to start automatically.

TIA!
