The advanced button opens a small dialog containing "Run as Administrator".<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>In the shortcut, there are two entries you put in.  The second is the label of the shortcut.  Not even necessary to discuss.</blockquote> You are talking about the "wizard" for creating a new shortcut. you can directly enter <br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>cmd /k cd /D C:\perl as the target there as well. However you need to open the properties of the shortcut and use the Advanced button to set the shortcut to run as administrator.<br/><br/><br/></body></html>
