Start process WITHOUT admin privileges via an elevated CMD

Hi there,

I'm wondering if it's possible to do what the title describes.

When on the builtin Administrator account on Windows 7, every process that is opened is automatically admin privileged. I'm okay with that, it's called an 'Administrator' account after all, but at rare times I would like to interact with applications as a standard user while still working in the account.

I figured CMD should be capable of starting a new process with its elevations stripped as I need, but I can't figure out how. Is it even possible?

Thanks for your replies in advance.

The runas command might be what you want.
