When working with Windows-based systems, some of the programs on your computer can not function to their full extent unless you grant them administrator privileges. However, manually opening the context menu and giving them full rights might slow your work process.

In the situation described above, you can turn to specialized software such as RunAs Tool as it can help you grant elevated privileges to the apps you need with minimum efforts.

Since it is portable, this application does not require you to install it on your computer, as simply unpacking the contents of its archive and launching the executable lets you operate it entirely.

More so, you can run it from any removable storage media and it does not create any files or folders on your computer, nor does it modify any of your Windows registry entries.

RunAs Tool comes with a minimalistic, user-friendly interface that packs various intuitive functions, making it possible for any user that has at least average PC skills to operate its controls in an effortless manner.

It comes with a basic configuration section that can be accessed via the Options menu. Here you can toggle the Always On Top feature, select the Administrator profile and toggle the visibility of hidden files or extensions.

You can turn to this program if you need to elevate the permissions of applications on your computer by just providing it with a password for the selected Administrator profile and adding the desired apps to the list.

It is also possible that you can create shortcuts for the applications, open its location, view its properties and even export a list of programs so that you can import it later if needed. Clicking an item on the list lets you modify its title, adding parameters and toggling a file size check before launching.

To sum it up, RunAs Tool is a lightweight application that lets you grant Administrator rights to various programs on your system in a quick, efficient manner. It is portable, comes with a simple user interface, packs several interactive functions and lets you customize some of its settings.

What's new in RunAs Tool 1.5.0.0:

  • Ability to attach a file in network location (\BlueLifeExampleFolder)
  • Option to reset previous list (/R) for import Cmd parameter
  • Parameter to uninstall program (RunAsTool.exe /Uninstall)
  • The text in the program interface is tiny
