admin

On Vista and above, opens the DOS prompt elevated (after a UAC prompt).

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT=admin

 

 

noadmin

Prevents the DOS prompt from being elevated.

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT=noadmin

 

 

color=<color>

Sets the text and background colors of the DOS window. You can use this by itself, or in conjunction with the admin argument to override the default color when the prompt is elevated.

The <color> value is specified with two hexadecimal digits - the first corresponds to the background color, and the second to the foreground. The allowable colors are:

 

Supported color values

0 = Black

1 = Blue

2 = Green

3 = Aqua

4 = Red

5 = Purple

6 = Yellow

7 = White

8 = Gray

9 = Light Blue

A = Light Green

B = Light Aqua

C = Light Red

D = Light Purple

E = Light Yellow

F = Bright White

 

Note that you must enclose the entire value of the DOSPROMPT argument in quotes when using the color parameter (otherwise the embedded = sign will confuse the command parser).


Example:
 CLI DOSPROMPT="admin,color=97"

 

 

nocolor

Prevents the color of the DOS prompt from being set when elevated.

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT=admin,nocolor
