如何从命令提示符下运行VSCode

Question

I for security reasons cannot run VSCode plainly. I have opened it in the past, but now due to specific reasons, I may only run VSCode from the command prompt. I've tried

start "path/to/file" code and start code "path/to/file"
but none work I'm on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.407]

how may I run this by going to Windows + R then 'cmd' then start/ run?

Also it would be great if I could use this for a separate user.

I'm looking for something like:
Runas /user:user\\admin /savecred "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\vs-code.exe"

Answer 1

The use of start is useless if VSCode is in the environment variables.

You can use code C:\\Users\\%username%\\Desktop\\File.c for exemple.If it doesn't work, I advise you to use a vbs script instead

You also don't need to run VSCode as an administrator unless you need to edit a file in a protected folder.

Answer 2

Well shoot, as it turns out that after doing some experimentation I found out that there's a way. Do this:

1. Simply stick this:

    runas /user:Techtiger255\\admin /savecred "C:\\Users\\Admin\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Microsoft VS Code\\Code.exe" 

   inside of a shortcut ( .lnk file )

2. Open your command line of choice ( Powershell or Cmd ) and enter the exact file path of your shortcut ex: "C:\\Users\\Standard\\Desktop/VSCODE.lnk" and hit go, stupidly simple really, just had to find the code.exe file path.
