Windows Vista: How to execute a .exe program in the cmd "As Administrator"
Solution 1:
Windows has a "runas" command that acts a bit like sudo does in Unix-y systems. Try typing "runas /?" in your command prompt.
Solution 2:
If you run cmd itself as administrator, everything else you run from there will also. I just setup a shortcut to the command prompt that opens as administrator. Everything from there is good to go.
