One way is to use a tool like RunAs (built in), PsExec (from SysInternals), etc, those will let you launch something with different user credentials, can script that however you like via their login script or whatever. Or, you can create a scheduled task. Have it run as a particular user and have its trigger be when someone logs in (either everyone or specific people).

Hi Max.

 

Thanks for your response.

 

I don't want to run the program with different user credentials. I want the program to run on the other user's desktop. The situation is whenever the user logon to his account the program start running (I've copied it to the start-up folder), but what I wanna do is that the current user will run a batch file that will trigger a quiet logon for the other user while still on the current one.

 

Thanks,

Al

Ohhh I misunderstood you -- use PsExec then, you can start applications on another computer, assuming credentials/firewall/etc. You can't remotely log into another system's local console session though, although you can force a system to automatically log in when started. (Netplwiz, obviously use with care for security reasons.)

so you basically want to run a program as administrator while the user is logged in as a standard user account. 

 

You can create a scheduled task to do this, you can use a free software that will create a shortcut to do this

 

 

I have not used any of these, they are for you to test and determine what works for you.  They were found with a simple google search using the phrase "free software to runas"

here is another option, which has two parts...the first part is the technet method (after searching a ton you will find the technet page where the first part was pulled off of) the second is pointing to other tools that do this

    • I think they mean a phone like the s6 edge where it breaks on first drop guarantee
    • This high-end GEEKOM Mini IT12 (2025 Edition) PC has been slashed by $200 by Steven Parker GEEKOM reached out to let us know of a discount it is running on its site in the U.S., where you can save $200 off the i7 model of Mini IT12 2025 Edition. That brings the already discounted price of $699 down to just $499; buying link below. Below are the full specifications of the variant on offer GEEKOM Mini IT12 (2025 Edition) Dimensions Size 117 x 112 x 45.6mm Weight 652g CPU Intel Core i7-1280P (14 Cores, 20 Threads, 24MB Cache, up to 4.80 GHz) Graphics Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics Memory 32 GB Dual-channel DDR4-3200 SODIMM; expandable up to 64GB Storage 1 TB x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 x4 SSD, expandable up to 2TB 1 x M.2 2242 SATA SSD slot, expandable up to 1TB Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth® v5.2 Ethernet Intel® 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet Wireless LAN Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX211 Kensington Lock Yes Adapter 19V power adapter, 90W, with geo-specific AC cord (IEC C5) I/O Ports 3 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports 1 x USB 2.0 port 2 x USB4 ports 1 x SD card reader 1 x 3.5 mm headphone jack 1 x 2.5GbE LAN port 2 x HDMI 2.0 ports 1 x DC jack 1 x Power button MSRP $699 (see below for discount price) You may remember that we reviewed the i7-1260P variant in 2023. Here are our initial impressions of the Mini IT12 at the time. Once you have the PC out of the cushioning inside the box and the foam removed, you are greeted with a Thank You envelope. Below that, after removing the cardboard "shelf," you can find the other components, such as the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA mount plate with a bag of screws, and the instruction manual. What’s In The Box 1 x Mini IT12 Mini PC 1 x VESA Mount 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x User Guide 1 x Thank You Card As you can see, one HDMI cable is included in the box. Since the port is not HDMI 2.1, you will need to consider purchasing a mini DisplayPort cable or a USB4 (Type-C) to DisplayPort cable to maximize the potential of the Iris Xe Graphics display options. In addition, GEEKOM offers a one-year full warranty on its products, and if needed, you can RMA or return them locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, and the E.U. has a Germany warehouse). Buy the i7-1280P Mini IT12 (2025 Edition) for $499 (was $699) at GEEKOM U.S. Buy the i7-1280P Mini IT12 (2025 Edition) for $499 (was $699) at Amazon U.S. When checking out, use the $30 in-page coupon or NEOIT122025 coupon code. Best of all, the shipping is quick and free.
    • That's ######ing hilarious! And it sure works when you look at both of their faces.
    • When it comes to games specifically, sure, but until now the main focus has been on doing work. All you have to do is look at how hard they're pushing AI in the productivity space to see that they've got their enterprise users in mind 1st with gamers lower on the list. Now that should all change, at least for custom gaming devices like handhelds and even, I expect, custom mini-PCs that are like consoles you can put under your TV. The whole "Xbox PC" branding they had around the show says a lot IMO.
