Help: command line with no UAC interferance?

Have seen a lot of traffic in this newgropus about UAC and command line....is not helping for things I need. I want to run things from the command line like chkdsk and defrag...without UAC prompts or prompts for passwords.

1) Have tried "runas" in various forms (runas /trustlevel:Unrestricted "cmd /T:4F /k") but when I try defrag c: -f from the red command window I still get the UAC prompt.

2) Trying to run things "automagically" and running from the command prompt doesn't help if I have to input a password....

Please don't respond with why UAC is my friend...I agree, and am trying to find a way to do this without shutting UAC off.

I want to run these simple commands from the command line without GUI warning messages/prompts and without user interaction (no password requests). PS: I'm also looking at doing this from the command line using Task Scheduler, but that seems farily complicated...

Turn off UAC! - also you can use the "search" box in place of "run as" - just type command desired (though still get UAC stuff).

"senrabdet"

Click on the Start Orb, type "cmd", then right click on the result and select "Run As Administrator"

Are you trying to use the commands in a script? Maybe if you told us exactly what you are hoping to accomplish we can help you.

In general, here are the rules:

- Any program that needs admin permission that interacts with the user will show a UAC prompt, no matter how it starts. Period.

- A program that runs as a service or from task scheduler can run with elevated privileges without throwing a UAC prompt, but it will not be able to interact with the user (it will not be visible on the screen).
