RunAsSystem V1.4.2 - runs a process in the SYSTEM context
Freeware by Uwe Sieber - www.uwe-sieber.de

Usage:

RunAsSystem [-e] [-ti] [-nowait] [-min|-max|-normal|-noact|-hid] [-low|-below|-normal|-above|-high] "executable" [params for executable]

-e          pass the current user's environment variables
-ti         try to use the TrustedInstaller's security (delay when the TrustedInstaller service isn't running yet)
-min/max    window style
-low/high   process prioriy


RunAsSystem waits for the started process to end and then passes its return code (aka errorlevel)
unless -nowait is given.
RunAsSystem passes the window style and its process priority to the exeucted process.
Both can be overruled by commandline params:

Windows Stlye:
-min	minimized
-max	maximized

-noact	no activate
-hid	hidden
