PowerRun is a portable freeware to launch regedit.exe , Cmd.exe or other software with the same privileges as the TrustedInstaller / Nt Authority/system Why would you need it? Sometimes it is just not enough to just be running as Administrator, Maybe it’s a file or a registry key that is locked or not editable, PowerRun a tool with this powerful privilege most likely solve that , PowerRun doesn’t require any installation process or additional dll files.
How to use : After downloading, extract PowerRun to your desired location, then run it. You can drag and drop any files on it for example ; program files , Program files shortcuts , script files , text files usw. to run a listed file in TrustedInstaller/SYSTEM privileges you can select it and use run button or right click on it and choose “Run File” feature , the file will run with Highest privileges , you can check the Task manager’s details tab to verify that the selected file running under SYSTEM Privileges
If you’re trying to edit or delete keys from the registry , you might find that some keys won’t let you do anything with them and you’ll get an error such as “Cannot delete xxxxx: Error while deleting key”. These keys are usually protected to stop accidental deletion , You could also be the administrator on the computer, but still can’t manipulate the required key.
Even though the administrator account has a great deal of control, there are other hidden accounts and levels on the system which have even greater access and therefore standard administrator privileges are not enough. To solve this problem, you have to force the registry to allow the logged on user full control of the subkeys in such cases PoweRun can help you : use the “Launch Registry Editor” button
Copy desired registry key and click “Open” button , PowerRun will open regedit (with Highest Privileges) and jump to the key Automatically. If you want to add any parameter to listed script or program rigt click on it and use “Edit Item” or just use wrench Button
For automation purpose PowerRun allows you to create a vbs or bat file with necessary parameters in it , to use this feature :
1. Select the Program
2. And use Edit – create – Create bat/Vbs File feature
Don’t forget to run the script in the same folder with PowerRun.exe or PowerRun_x64.exe

I could no longer work without this program! Keep up the good work! Paolo from Italy
Hi, The program supports Windows 7. However, because the program runs through PowerRun as the system user, you may experience problems with some programs.
Should I be able to use this program under Windows 7 x64?
I only get an empty window with a red cross in a circle symbol when I try to cmd.exe.
Dependency Walker shows missing modules: AP-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-*-L1-1-0.DLL, DCOMP.DLL, IESHIMS.DLL but this may be to the fact that DW is old and unaware of API redirection. Howevery, decomposition may be unsupported under Win7.
Great program, but there is no Column for the program for the Rename – The name for the created parameter
created multiple cmd.exe with different options
1) /k ver & @title start & color 1f & echo off & cd ..\.. & echo.
2) /k @title IP & color 1f & echo off & echo. & echo IP & ipconfig /all | FINDSTR “DHCP.Server DHCP-” & timeout /t 5 > nul & exit
now I want to give them names, how to make it or should I wait for an updated version.
(супер программа, но одного нет Колонки, чтобы кв программе назвать свой Name – Имя для созданного параметра.
создал несколько cmd.exe с разными вариантами
1) /k ver & @title start & color 1f & echo off & cd ..\.. & echo.
2) /k @title IP & color 1f & echo off & echo. & echo IP & ipconfig /all | FINDSTR "DHCP.Server DHCP-" & timeout /t 5 > nul & exit
теперь хочу дать им названия, как сделать или ждать обновленную версию)
PowerRun does not support Windows Store apps
I am the Owner/Administrator, but can not run "Phone Link" because I’m not "TrustedInstaller" Any idea how I could use PowerRun to solve this? "Phone Link" AKA "Link for Windows" has no executable file, and a shortcut cannot be created, nor can it be dragged onto PowerRun.
You’re welcome
Thank you!
I had a reason to temporarily disable wscsvc – the Windows Security Service and tried everything in the world but it wouldn’t work – even though I’m like the Administrator of Administrators with every possible permission available to anyone – but when I ran my script with your powerrun, voila! It worked right away. Thank you very much.

When PowerShell runs as the system user, the environment variables are owned by the system user.
You can get the current user variables from the registry.
See the sample PowerShell code below.
It might not work in earlier versions of PowerShell.
$tUser = ((Get-WMIObject -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem).Username).Split(‘\’)[1]
$tUserSID = -split((Get-LocalUser -Name $tUser | Select SID).SID)
$tUserRegEnv = ‘HKEY_USERS\’ + $tUserSID +’\Volatile Environment’
$tUserRegShell = ‘HKEY_USERS\’ + $tUserSID +’\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders’
$tUserProfile = (-split(REG.EXE QUERY $tUserRegEnv /v ‘USERPROFILE’))[5]
$tUserDesktop = (-split(REG.EXE QUERY $tUserRegShell /v ‘Desktop’))[5]
$tUser
$tUserSID
$tUserProfile
$tUserDesktop
