TipZ#004:Bypass Annoying "Run as Admin" Option

Scenario:

• You have got 2 or more user accounts in windows 7. one of them is Admin and the other is Standard user.
• You normally use standard user account. and just put in the password when some app wants admin access. 
• Now the problem is you run an app daily and it needs admin access. And you are annoyed of punching in the password everytime.

So here is the solution,

You need: 

1. MiniRunAs.exe >> rename this to runn.exe   (this is a runas alternative)
2. Elevate.exe   (this invokes elevation to highest Admin rights)
3. Command or program to run.

Now put the runn.exe and Elevate.exe in one folder.

Eg.:

• You have to run "AdmiN PaneL.msc" everyday as an admin.
• Its path is  "C:\Users\User\Desktop\scratch\AdmiN PaneL.msc"
• You put a copy of runn.exe and elevate.exe it the same path that is  "C:\Users\User\Desktop\scratch\"
• Now create a shortcut with a target like this
• C:\Users\User\Desktop\scratch\runn.exe <adminusername> <adminpassword> "C:\Users\User\Desktop\scratch\Elevate.exe" "C:\Users\User\Desktop\scratch\AdmiN PaneL.msc"
• Note the above point is one single line.
• Done. This shortcut will run  "AdmiN PaneL.msc"  using admin account and with elevated rights.
• Similarly you can run a cmdline statement
• C:\Users\User\Desktop\scratch\runn.exe  <adminusername> <adminpassword> C:\Users\User\Desktop\scratch\Elevate.exe C:\Users\User\Desktop\scratch\devcn.exe restart "PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_1426103C&REV_02"
• The above shortcut allows me to restsrt  my ethernet adapter. {devcn.exe is device console}

Note This method is unsecure. Your password is shown in plain text. Hide these shortcuts if necessary.

TipZ#003:Explorer TrickS

1. Windows Explorer provides secondary sorting: For example, In Details View single click a column header will set primary sorting order and ShifT+Clicking another column set it for secondary sort order. See the pics below for eg.
1. Primary sorted by Type(Asc.) and Secondary sorted by Name(Asc.)
2. Primary sorted by Type(Asc.) and Secondary sorted by Name(Desc.) 
3. Primary sorted by Type(Asc.) and Secondary sorted by Size(Asc.) 
4. Primary sorted by Type(Asc.) and Secondary sorted by Size(Desc.)  

AutoHotKey

AutoHotkey is a free, open-source utility for Windows. With it, you can:

• Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. You can write a mouse or keyboard macro by hand or use the macro recorder.
• Create hotkeys for keyboard, joystick, and mouse. Virtually any key, button, or combination can become a hotkey.
• Expand abbreviations as you type them. For example, typing "btw" can automatically produce "by the way".
• Create custom data-entry forms, user interfaces, and menu bars. See GUI for details.
• Remap keys and buttons on your keyboard, joystick, and mouse.
• Respond to signals from hand-held remote controls via the WinLIRC client script.
• Run existing AutoIt v2 scripts and enhance them with new capabilities.
• Convert any script into an EXE file that can be run on computers that don't have AutoHotkey installed.
• Getting started might be easier than you think. Check out the quick-start tutorial.

Plus a whole lot more...

• Change the volume, mute, and other settings of any soundcard.
• Make any window transparent, always-on-top, or alter its shape.
• Use a joystick or keyboard as a mouse.
• Monitor your system. For example, close unwanted windows the moment they appear.
• Retrieve and change the clipboard's contents, including file names copied from an Explorer window.
• Disable or override Windows' own shortcut keys such as Win+E and Win+R.
• Alleviate RSI with substitutes for Alt-Tab (using keys, mouse wheel, or buttons).
• Customize the tray icon menu with your own icon, tooltip, menu items, and submenus.
• Display dialog boxes, tooltips, balloon tips, and popup menus to interact with the user.
• Perform scripted actions in response to system shutdown or logoff.
• Detect how long the user has been idle. For example, run CPU intensive tasks only when the user is away.
• Automate game actions by detecting images and pixel colors (this is intended for legitimate uses such as the alleviation of RSI).
• Read, write, and parse text files more easily than in other languages.
• Perform operation(s) upon a set of files that match a wildcard pattern.
• Work with the registry and INI files.
