Can an Administrator run MSCONFIG within a limited user account
I need to change advanced startup options within an AD users account, can I run MSCONFIG within the users limited access account to accomplish this?
You can use "runas /user:domain\user msconfig' and when prompted supply with password..

I get the prompt and enter the admin un/pw and press enter, but never get MSCONFIG to come up
Is it installed? Should be in C:\Windows\System32\

MSCONFIG is installed as I can run it when I am logged in as the Administrator.

I normally run cmd as administrator (start, cmd, right click, run as administrator) and the execute the programs from there.
On XP you just locate cmd under acceseries and right click.
Once you have a administrator command line you can shoot off msconfig or whatever you need.
