Run as...

[geder s dorf]

The "Run as..." feature stopped working on my machine. When I try do
run a program with "Run as..." I get the error meassage "Windows
cannot access specified device, path or file."
The program runs when I double click it, but it cannot access folder
that are restricted.
How can I get that feature back?

Hi,

Click Start, Run and type:

CMD /K REG QUERY HKCR\exefile\shell\runas /s

Copy the output and include it in your reply.

Ok. The REG values look normal.
It must be caused by something else.
