How to add components of Microsoft Office without Logging out and Logging in as Admin

[Herbert Chan]

Hello,

I am the administrator in my office. Sometimes I will need to add for my
users some optional components of Microsoft Office. I know such components
will need to be added through Add or Remove Program inside Control Panel.
With a normal user's account, it is not possible to add components to
Microsoft Office. Is it possible that when I am at my user's desk, I can
run this Add or Remove Program module as admin, without having to log out
and log in as Admin and make the change and then log out again and let the
user log in again?

use the following command from command prompt

runas /user:adminaccount "control appwiz.cpl"

Replace the adminaccount with your account that you use to run add remove
programs in administrator account. It is pretty safe as it will ask you for
password behind asterisk.

With best regards
