Running Application as Administrator

I am attempting to write a script that runs a program with rights that are elevated to Admin. I have looked through the Manual and the forum, and am unable to resolve my probelm. I am a beginner to AutoIt, so any help that you can provide would be appreciated. Here is my code, and the error I get when I run it.

; Set the RunAs parameters to use local adminstrator account

RunAsSet("Administrator", @Computername, "adminpassword")

; Run registry editor as admin

RunWait("taskpanl.exe","C:\Program Files\EarthLink TotalAccess")

; Reset user's permissions

RunAsSet()

Error: Unable to execute the external program

The Parameter is incorrect.

Thanks,

Brenmank

I think that your problem could be with the "workingdir". Try writing it as

"'C:\Program Files\EarthLink TotalAccess'"
