Windows – How to run executable as Administrator via Command line

It looks like this utility - Hidden Start - will do what you wish if you use the /uac switch. Here's an example command line:

hstart /UAC "notepad.exe"

This will pop up the UAC dialog rather than ask for a password like runas does.

Opening a Windows Explorer as administrator and recreating the network shares didn't work for me. Then, I found this solution: create the share on the command prompt itself. It worked for me.

net use f: \\remoteserver\subfolder      

Even if the drive is already mapped in windows explorer, still it worked.

Note: Only use a single backslash before subfolder
