While there is no elevation command in Vista so that your tools will run with administrative privileges, there is the Elevate Command PowerToy which can get the job done. It was written by Michael Murgolo, a consultant with Microsoft Consulting Services

The tool is discussed here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2007/06/UtilitySpotlight/default.aspx.

And is available for download here:

Scroll down to : June 2007 and it is listed under “Utility Spotlight: Script Elevation PowerToys for Windows Vista” (Utility2007_06.exe)

Just give it a simple -? to view the syntax, but as you might expect it is simply:

Elevate cmd.exe

Any tool, or arguments for this such as opening a specific file or running a specific script follow just as you would normally enter them at the command line.
