I found out in another thread about RunAsSystem.exe which adds an item “Run as System” in the right click menu for applications/batch files. I thought it would be very useful and tried to install with no success. Installed it as admin on Win 8 enterprise x64. Got the right click menu, but when I right click on any .exe or .cmd/.bat and choose "Run as System" nothing happens. No program/batch launches. Then I thought maybe it is the AV or UAC somehow preventing RunAsSystem.exe to be installed or work properly so: Disabled UAC by: Changing setting in user accounts Changing registry keys [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System] "EnableLUA"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "EnableLUA"=dword:0000000 Diabled Kaspersky - Even booted win 8 in safe mode and renamed Kaspersky folder & exe in "Program files x86". Tried to reinstalled RunAsSystem.exe, restarted several times still no success. Since I didn't find a way to make RunAsSystem.exe work in my system, can anyone help me delete the "Run as System" item from right click menu ?. Searched a lot on the net but couldn't find a way to delete it from the registry or uninstall RunAsSystem.exe from my system. Please help Thanks (Sorry for the "not not" in my threads Title)
Forgot to say I tried to manually remove the right click item from the registry in: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\* HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers etc etc Tried ShellExView/ShellMenuNew but could not find anywhere that "Run as System" item. Thanks By the way, how can we edit thread titles when mistakes are made?
