Run program as Local System Account

To delete registry keys under Vista...

This article which demonstrates the use of PSTools from SysInternals which was acquired by Microsoft in July, 2006. I launched the command line and issued the following statement and suddenly I was running under the Local System Account like magic:

psexec -i -s cmd.exe

PSTools worked great.
