How can I remove "run as administrator" from Context Menus?
Our client has Win7 Enterprise on their laptops. They do not have administrator rights. Still they call and claim the "Administrator thing" is not working. Yes, I work at a h3ll desk. How could we remove that option...? When we remote all we need is shift+right click - run as another user. Thank you!

Hi, We can edit the registry keys to achieve it. Note: Please backup the registry keys before modifying it. 1. Open Notepad.exe. 2. Paste the following commands. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\runas] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\runas] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cplfile\shell\runas] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mscfile\shell\RunAs] 3. Save as remove.reg file. 4. Double click it.Kim Zhou TechNet Community Support
