Using Run as ...

[sec_ware]

Hi

I start to take this personally

Since the junction point in discussion is a subfolder of the desktop,
I don't think that the full path solves the problem. Anyway, try
using explorer.exe rather than iexplorer.exe, with/without /n,/e,/root
(I am guessing...)

runas /user:administrator "c:\windows\explorer.exe /n,/e,/root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}"

Note:[1]
{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} = My Computer
{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} = Control Panel


If this does not work, try a vbs-script (runas /user:administrator "wscript.exe c:\test.vbs"), like

Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "c:\windows\explorer.exe /n,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}"

If one of them works, we will try understand why ...

Cheers

/edit: if none of them worked, try to start explorer.exe as administrator
(runas /user:administrator c:\windows\explorer.exe), then fill the
address bar with ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}
