Can I create a shortcut to a application that can executes the application in different user (Administrator) as the function of 'Run as..' command.
No Willz, he means Run As, not Run arunmir, you would have to create a batch script. Launch notepad and type in a DOS command such as: Code: runas /user:your_computer_name\administrator c:\program files\program\program.exe Save the file, then change the file format from .txt to .bat
You can also use this command as a shortcut on the desktop. Just rightclick the desktop, go to New > shortcut. Then enter runas /user:ComputerName\administrator location of program. If you launch the shortcut, it will ask for your administrator password. Enter it, then press ENTER or RETURN. You can also replace the Administrator with another username. If the path to the executable file has spaces between it (like C:\program files), then put the path to the executable file between two "-marks. For example: instead of using C:\program files\program.exe, you should enter "C:\program files\program.exe".
Thank you very much. I have already seen this method in windows help; But I can't understand it clearly. I can understood through your answers. But I have another doubt. Can I set the shortcut that can enter the password automatically?
Use this command: runas /savecred /user:computername\Administrator Location of program. At the first start of the shortcut, it will ask your for the account password. But then it will be saved. If you run the shortcut again, it will not ask you for the password. However this might not work on XP Home Edition, as it can't manage these options.
