Hello,
Is there a way to run the Add / Remove programs applet in Windows XP with
administrative privileges. I have tried entering runas /user:administrator
appwiz.cpl from command prompt, but it won't run.
Where I work, our users are prevented from having administrative rights on
the computers. This becomes a problem when software needs to be removed as
it requires adding the user to the administrators group, asking for their
password, re-logging on to the computer, installing the software, testing
that it works, removing the user from the local admins and then re-logging
on. I would appreciate it if there was a way that I could run appwiz.cpl
with my privileges or local admin rights to remove programs as this would
save a lot of effort and look more professional. There are so many
applications which require full admin rights to be uninstalled.
