How to run a program as administrator?

[BlueTube]

Hello everyone,
All our users are setup as part of the "users group" on their PCs' to prevent them from downloading and installing any "bad" programs. Now, ADP for windows (payroll software) cannot run unless the user running it has administrative privileges on his/her PC. I need to know how to make a batch file or something that the user can click on and it will launch this program "as administrator". I know in windows explorer you can sometimes right click on a program and it will allow you to click on "Run as". I can make a small program (using VB) and make it run this program as administrator if I know how to do this in command prompt for example. Or do you have any other suggestions?

The easiest way is to use Greg Palmer's excellent RunAsUser program, available free of charge from here:
