Password sign-in

[Ron]

I am running Hitman 2 on a limited account. In order for me to save games, I
have to sign in an administrator account.

Since I have others sign in using the administrator account, it lets them
know my administrator password, which I do not like.

When I "run as", it does not offer to remember the password when I select
"the following user" to sign in as administrator. Anyone know how to get it
to remember the password?

I figure it's less chance of anyone trying to know my password.

Dunno if this'll work, but try going to Start...Run and type in -

control userpasswords2

and see if that will do it.

Give the user or group the proper permissions to the folder that saves
your games and if that does work, give the user/group proper permissions
where the game is installed.

None of these work.

There must be another workaround.

Also contact the game manufacturer, they may have a solution.

This has happened to me as well in the past, but I was able to fix the
problem with user permissions on certain folders and files.

Very odd. Still none of these work. I have tried to give administrator
privileges and nothing.

I updated the program and nothing.

Any ideas?

Might be an user registry issue, the user might not have the proper
keys.

If you look in the registry when in you're logged into your account,
look under

[HKCU\Software\"Program Name or Company name of the game"]

Then compare the limited user registry keys, you can logged out of your
account then log into a limited user account, then run regedit with
admin privileges. To do this, type the following in the run dialog box

runas /user:youruseraccountname regedit

then navigate to [HKCU\Software\"Program Name or Company name of the
game"] to compare the your registry keys to the limited user registry
keys.

Hi,
if none of the other ideas work, your application can get admin rights
with the tool runasspc.
