    Invalid switch - "/elevate".


    When I try to use the start command with the /elevate switch to run a task as administrator I get the message Invalid switch - "/elevate". What am I doing wrong?

  2. Invalid MS-DOS


    I am wondering if Meg knows the difference between a command prompt and an Elevated prompt. She said from the beginning that she is not very hip to computer jargon, which to me translates to, not being an experienced user. That much is evident from her lack of knowledge regarding syntax.
    I do not say that as a detriment to Meg, only to point out that maybe someone could take it step by step from opening an Elevated Command Prompt, to typing in what needs to be typed in. Ex. Dir[space]/p[space]Windows or something to that effect. What a command looks like in a GUI environment and what it looks like at the actual prompt can be deceiving.
    Just a suggestion to get her issue solved.
