Defense in depth — the Microsoft way (part 35): Windows Explorer ignores "Run as administrator" …

Posted by Stefan Kanthak on Sep 21

Hi @ll,

since Microsoft introduced the security theatre named “user account
control” with Windows Vista users cant start (another instance of)
the Windows Explorer with elevated rights any more: the “Run as
administrator” and the “Run as different user” context menu entries
only start another instance of Windows Explorer with but the
credentials of the logged on (interactive) user.

No, neither starting Windows…
