My version:

Open 'Start' menu.

Enter 'cmd'.

RMB and pick up 'Run as Administrator'.

  1. Conduct Tier-5 Surveillance to determine who is Administrator
  2. Direct operatives to capture Administrator along with hostages
  3. While holding Administrator gesture wildly at hostages while loudly speaking Klingon
  4. Finally, in perfect English, ask Administrator to open Command Prompt
  5. Repeat as needed. Note Administrator may grow wise to Tier-5 Surveillance and require higher Tiers moving forward.

If you try that with a home system where you are both, user and administrator, you might get yourself committed to an insane asylum.
