Install programs in Windows XP Pro without Administrator Privileges

Users generally have no right to install programs.

The command run as can circumvent this restriction but, of course, know the password and account logging of Director.

An administrator can grant it permanently by creating on your desktop.

Shortcut follows:
%windir%\system32\runas.exe /savecred /user:admin "C:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL appwiz.cpl"

This opens the component "adding removal program with administrative rights.

During the first launch, the password will be requested in a back window, and then will be retained by the system through the parameter "/ savecred. The user can then install and Remove Programs.

This command does not work in XP family.

The above mentioned command / tips only works in Windows XP Pro SP1. Make sure you have the same. It will not work in any other OS version.
