run as different user

[Jason Gallas]

Is there any way to hack the shortcut to always run as a different user
without it prompting me for the other use every time? I want to run the
Exchange 5.5 administrator program as the "administrator".

Hi

If it doesn't matter if the password is in clear text:

Sanur Commandline Runas Automation Utility (free)
http://www.commandline.co.uk/sanur/

if it does:

A couple of free runas tools that "hides" (encrypt) username/password:

CPAU on the free win32 c++ tools page of

And from a recent post by Peter M.:

I am currently using AutoIt V3 (http://www.hiddensoft.com/autoit3/)
It includes a command to run a command as a special user. You can
write a simple script and then compile it with autoit as an executable.
Protect this executable with a password and you are done.

AutoIt V3 ist still beta and under development, but the actual version
is stable and the functions you need (runasadmin,regwrite...) are
already implemented and working.

Thank you, this will also help me with those pesky installations that need
to run as a local administrator.
