trying to delete a file using elevated privledges

[ajfoster]

I have the following script:

If FileExists ("c:\winnt\system32\oemlogo.bmp") Then

RunAsSet ("User", "Domain", "Password")

filedelete("c:\winnt\system32\oemlogo.bmp")

RunAsSet ()

Else

EndIf

It does not delete the oemlogo.bmp. In fact it doesn't appear to run the script. I also tried to add the following line in place of the filedelete line and i get an error.

Runwait (@comspec & "/k" & "del c:\winnt\system32\oemlogo.bmp")

I am trying to delete the file from the login script and the loged in user will not have access to delete but an admin will.

Please help

runasset sets the credentials for run & runwait, not the other commands.

You need to have a space before and after the /k like:

Runwait (@comspec & " /k del c:\winnt\system32\oemlogo.bmp")
