I have two computers in my home running Windows XP Home. There are 5 user
accounts and I don't want to use passwords. I would like to use RunAs from a
batch file in administrator account to do some weekdly administration (e.g.,
emptying garbage and temp files). Is there a way to do use RunAs on an
account without a password?

Click to expand...

Initial thoughts:
- Are you saying no account has a password, including the admin account?
- Why do you need administrative rights to clean up someone's temp files,
etc? They have the rights needed to do this..

Set your temporary internet files to something like 10MB, clear it on exit
of Internet Explorer.. that may help.
Make a default profile so new accounts have these same settings when they
get created.

RunAs is not REALLY going to be scriptable. It ASKS for the password.
Perhaps you should google for an alternative.
