On a sys running XP Pro with accounts set to Limited level (for the kids) an
older Sims game meant for Win 9x will install but only runs if the account
that starts it is an Administrator.
To run the game while logged on as in a limited account I've tried using the
the RunAs on the game.exe which will work, but only if you type the admin
account and password at the the time you start the app (game.exe).
What's broken is that the RunAs credentials do not seem to be getting saved
with the game.exe shortcut/link.
What part of the system is responsible for remembering the RunAs setting
across sessions (login's, each run of game.exe) - is it up to the game or
should different settings in XP cause it to be stored?
Or is there something else I need to change to keep the RunAs settings?
I'm willing to provide more specifics on request if it will help.
Thanks,
Jeff
