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

    • Google Chrome is ending support for two ancient versions of Android by Usama Jawad Google Chrome is the most used browser right now, with the competition trailing far behind. What browser you use typically ends up being a matter of preference and familiarity, but all vendors are trying to one-up each other as they vy for more market share. Recently, Google claimed that Chrome is now faster than ever while Microsoft boasted that Edge is better at ad-blocking than Google's offering. Regardless of all these factors, Chrome commands a significant market share, even on legacy systems. Now, Google has announced that it is ending support for Chrome on two legacy versions of Android. In a brief blog post, Google has announced that it is dropping support for Chrome on Android 8 Oreo and Android 9 Pie with the upcoming version 139 of the browser expected to release on August 5. Right now, the current stable version of Chrome is 137, which means that Chrome 138 will be the last version of the browser to support these legacy operating systems. In practice, this means that Chrome will require Android 10.0 or above on mobile platforms in order to receive further updates. While the browser will continue working on older versions of Android, they will not receive updates, which means that they'll be left insecure and vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. As expected, Google has recommended that users on older systems should migrate to at least Android 10 in order to continue receiving updates on Chrome. While the company hasn't explicitly stated a reason behind its decision, it likely has to do with the dwindling user base of these old versions of Android and Google's ambitions to get more people to upgrade to newer versions of its mobile operating system. It's important to note that Android 8 was released in August 2017 and received its final security patch in October 2021. Meanwhile, Android 9 was rolled out to the public in August 2019 and netted its final update in January 2022. So in retrospect, Google has already been offering Chrome support for these legacy versions long after they hit end-of-support themselves.
    • I use two of these in RAID0 for video games and other things, together they are capable of 2.8 million IOPS and 15 GB/s on Gen4. At this price, 4 TB of Gen4 is faster and less expensive than a single 2 TB Gen5 NVMe, not to mention easier to cool off. Highly recommend.
    • that is a normal sign in, they just put in a dumb location to try to hide it... and yes I think the whole MS account by default is BS too, the first question should be do you want an online profile or a local one
    • From our past comments, it looks like some ppl are defo enjoying these stories.
    • You are missing the point, we should not have to do that. Should have a do you want an MS account option on the normal sign in.
