run as admin options?

[Nozza]

Hi

Is there a way to get admin rights for things like windows firewall whilst the PC is logged on as a student?

I know one can usually use the runas /user command but the students don't have Start-Run option. Right-click is disabled too but I notice it is not for exe files on flashdrives.

I tried creating a bat file with the runas command to open an admin command prompt so I could run things like firewall.cpl but the bat file won't run due to s/w restrictions and it doesn't attract the Run As option so it cannot be run as admin either.

Is there an exe out there that will do this or am I missing the wood for the trees?

Thanks

ShellRunAs perhaps?

Or how about Steel Run-As?

If you have software restrictions, then are you going to have trouble running any solution?
What software can you run? Any Exe?

You could compile a script to run.
AutoIT or similar may be quite handy in this situation...
