Sudo for Windows Vista
Though much argued, I still prefer to adopt UAC in Windows Vista, so to launch an app in administrator mode, I have to right click and select “Run as administrator”. Being a command line fan, it would be convenient to have it done through some keystrokes.
I searched and found some tool, works fine, but its a bit bulky and comes with lots of (unnecessary) features. To keep things simple, I decide to write one myself. And its done with a size of 6K.
So here is my simple sudo utility, works in the same way as the *Nix one. Just appending “sudo” to any command. And it takes arguments as well!
It also works from command line prompt. Please put it to somewhere in your %PATH%(Windows folder is a good choice) and you’re good to go.
