Using Start-Process to Start an Admin Powershell Instance - Quick Tip

You may start an Administrative Powershell from a separate shell by using the `-Verb RunAs` parameter like this: ```powershell Start-Process Powershell -Verb RunAs ``` This will create an elevated Powershell instance, however the new instance of powershell will be targeting a new path: `C:WINDOWSSystem32`. If you&like to open Powershell at a custom directory or the current shells directory you may pass in a Working Directory. For example: `Start-Process Powershell -Verb RunAs -WorkingDirectory .` creates a new shell in the current directory with elevated permissions. This works with other programs as well. If you want an admin Command Prompt for example you could run this: ```powershell Start-Process cmd -verb runas ``` References
