Post subject: Vista Right-Click Context Menu Items...
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>general (more info?)

I have created a RunAs application that lets me perform the functions that I
was able to in Windows XP by right-clicking an application and choosing my
runas option. The problem is that the standard method of adding a
right-click context menu does not display the context menu on a right-click
context for any ADUC shortcuts. This means that I am not able to actually
use the tool on what it was intended for. Does anybody know of a way to add
a right-click context item to the ADUC tools shortcuts. Below is the
registry entry that I used.


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Vista RunAs]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Vista RunAs\command]
@="\\\"C:\\Program Files\\Involta\\Vista RunAs\\vista_runas.exe\\\"
\\\"%1\\\""

I'll admit I have no clue what ADUC is. I'll take a SWAG at the answer,
though... my guess would be that Vista's enhanced security posture, compared
to XP's, prevents what you're trying to do. Again, that's just a SWAG.

Hi Ryan,

You can look at the lower post here for the "Copy To & Move To" to see
if that procedure helps you any.
