Hi all,

The Control Panel is denied by gpo for user´s computers in my site.

Is it possible to ADD/Remove programs from one of these computers without
logoff and logon with admin account?

Thanks,

Hi Simon.

Thanks for your answer. I'm getting a second problem when following the MS
instructions below... the explorer.exe is not brought up. I'm posting this
new situation again, but if you know how to solve this one I will be
appreciate.
Thanks

Running the Windows Explorer Shell in Administrative Security Context

While logged on as a normal user:

Start Task Manager. Right-click the Task bar and select Task Manager.

Click the Processes tab.

Select explorer.exe. Click End Process. Click YES on the warning pop-up

message. The entire desktop will disappear. You will still have any

programs that you started including Task Manager.

Click the Programs tab.

Click New Task.

Type runas /user:machine/domain name\administrator explorer.exe. Click OK.

A Console window will appear and prompt for the password. Minimize Task

Manager, type the password and press Enter. The desktop will return

including the task bar, shortcuts, Startup folder items, etc.

Perform necessary administrative tasks. For example: clicking Start,

Settings and Control Panel will bring up control panel in administrative

context.

When finished, log off Administrator. A new shell will automatically

start, running in the originating user context.
