Help need a script

I need a scrip to run a program for the limited users on win Xp Pro. I have to install it as admin and let the users
work on it as limited users. BUT the way the program is wriiten only admins can use it. or it works if it is "run as"
an admin in the limited users group. Is there a way to have a script run it as an admin without the limited users
seeing the script?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, you basically want the equivalent of "sudo" (or, an automated "su -") from UNIX, but in Windows? Unfortunately, Windows XP's "Run As..." is the only way I know of to do what you want, but it isn't automated and it sucks compared to the real "su -". Of course, depending on the program, there may be other options. If you are using a CD burning program, you may just be able to change some options in your Local Security Policy that would allow it to work for Limited Users, without a drastic option like letting them all run it as Administrator.
 
Thanks guys,
it's a work shop manual programm on DVD.

I have to get it to work for the techs as limited users. They can't have admin rights !

Also sorry for the post in this furom, I never noticed 🙁 It was supposed to be in the Operating system forum!😱

Send a PM to "AnandTech Moderator" with a link, asking them to move it (if you didn't repost in ATOS already). They're usually pretty fast about these things. 🙂
