Sometimes I need to make a config change on another user's PC. The user doesn't have admin rights so I try to start control panel using the runas command. I can start other stuff with the command but if I try to start control panel nothing happens. It doesn't even give me an error message.
Alternatively I start another command prompt as admin (using the runas command again) and from that try to start control panel. Still no joy.
Is control panel designed not to be startable from a non-admin profile as an admin user?
You can give a try to the command
sfc /scannow
inruas

@grawity, If I'm not wrong then this command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem. – avirk – 2012-06-07T09:28:33.467
