How to set "The following user" as the default option in Run As di
Hi,
To start a program with other user credentials you can right click on the program file or its shortcut and choose Run As command. You will be prompted with a dialog box that has two options: Current user and The following user. By default the first option is set. The fact is that in almost all cases you run this dialog to launch a program or tool with other user credentials. So you first have to click "The following user" option, and only after that you will be able enter the creds. Above all when you choose the second option the System administrator name will be chosen by default. Is it possible to set "The following user" as the default option in Run As dialog? And how to make the system to choose other than sys admin name by default? Thanks |

And how to make the system to choose other than sys admin name by default? Thanks If this is for just one or a few specific shortcuts, I'd do it by changing the properties of the shortcut. I have a User Manager shortcut to one of our old domains that I run with this in the shortcut's target: %windir%\system32\runas.exe /env /user:OldDomainName\MyOldLoginName c:\windows\system32\usrmgr.exe When started, it just asks for my password then I'm in. Can't confirm this to work in a non-domain environment, but I would think it will - just give it a try, possibly also doing away with the full path. Eg: if your computer's name is Doris: runas /user:doris\yaugenka notepad.exe You might need to enclose the path to your app in inverted commas if it contains a space, eg in the above, replace notepad.exe with "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" Fuller details available by typing "runas /?" in a command prompt box or via the good auspices of Google, eg first hit I got: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc781769.aspx looks useful. |
