RUN AS option

[will]

I have my users set up as just users, no admin
rights...when I go to their machines to work on something
and if I need to get into the Network properties I can't
as they are not Administrators. I don't want to have to
log off and on to another account with admin just to make
a quick change if I could just use the Run As.. option.
But I don't see how you can for the Network Connections
control panel. Anybody have any ideas please??

[David Candy]

I always go in a command prompt=20
runas /user:mymachine\myuserid explorer.exe

Then I can do anything by double clicking in explorer.

Or use

runas /user:mymachine\myuserid control.exe

or

runas /user:mymachine\myuserid control.exe netconnections

I can't get those commands to work with explorer or
control. Works great for apps like notepad, just prompts
for the password with control.exe and brings me back to
the command line however..

I can't start explorer this way. Netconnections rely on explorer to =
show. The non explorer control panel applets work fine (eg control =
desktop). As does any other program (eg cmd, notepad, or any non =
explorer.exe..

Holding down the shift key when r/clicking puts the runas on the menu.=20

Anyway I thought explorer because it's the shell and another user is =
invoking it may be tring to load as desktop/start menu rather than file =
& folder browser. Ending explorer.exe (in task manager) for the current =
user allows explorer top be restarted by run as. Then the Start menu =
will appear but in the runas security setting.

PS To exit the RunAs security context.

End explorer in task manager, CLOSE task manager (cos it's running in =
the runas security context - it will start programs in this context), =
Open task manager, File - Run - Explorer.
