(2) Nero 6.3.1.18 does not show some of the selection icons, eg CD and DVD, and does not work to write to DVD.

Your suggestion of using Runas works when selecting Run as for the normal desktop shortcut, but I could not create a specific Runas shortcut that works.

I created the Runas shortcut by right-click on desktop, select New, select Shortcut, and type in
runas /user: pc\superadmin :"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Publisher\MSPUB.EXE"

Double-click on the Runas shortcut brings up a DOS window requesting the administrator user password, but nothing happens after the correct password is typed and Entered.

The specific Runas shortcut does not save much time, but would be useful if there was also a way to save the password, so that the program runs without a need to enter the administrator name and password.

[OT: I had to insert a space between : and p in the Runas command above, to stop that those two characters turning into a smiley . What's the proper way to prevent this smiley substitution, other than ticking 'Disable smilies in text'?]
