21 Related to my other question, I need to be able to run the command prompt NOT as an admin.

How can I run it so it just runs in the normal non-elevated mode?
A example to open notepad with administrator rights from cmd.exe which starts powershell which asks for the elevated permissions. C:\>start powershell -command "&{start-process -filepath notepad -verb RunAs}" This will give you a UAC dialog box (if enabled) with [Yes] [No], or will ask you for the administrator password.
