Enable administrative privileges

[tempest]

Just browsed Kelly's Korner site www.kellys-korner-xp.com for win XP
dministrative privileges tweaks.
I am looking for VBscript or reg file to enable administrative privileges on
XP machine. Could someone specify this?

You have two options:
a) Log on as Administrator.
b) While logged on as Administrator, promote your own account to
"Administrator".

If it were that easy every virus/trojan/spyware/malware program out there
would have it...

Tempest,

The amount of bug in XP make it easy to go from a user account to
administrator

You could use a piece of code to create the desired token priviliges very
simply by using code access permissions too. Add 'Act as part of the
operating system' & blow all Windows security out of the water

As I remember, I saw vbscript that when launched just accurately set full
administrative privileges on XP machine regardless of current admin
priveleges. Very handy when you need install program that requires
administrative privileges. Should not be too difficult with right VBScript,
I think.

VB Scripts are subject to the same restrictions as other scripts or
programs: You must have administrative privileges or else you must supply
credentials with administrative privileges. If you don't then VB Scripts
will not let you get around access restriction. If this was not so then any
hacker or virus writer would use some VB Script to elevate his privileges.

I think this is pure fiction and hear-say but I will let you convince me
with facts. Let's have the details!
