    For example, some application installers put icons and configurations
    only in the currently logged in user's profile and registry. If you are
    using Runas, I do not know what the end result would be. Similarly, if
    you install MS Office as Administrator, there might still be some setup
    required when the non-Admin user first logs in.

    </snip>

    Runas, when invoked, has the environment variable USERPROFILE set to
    "Default User". Normally, software installations triggered through runas
    create icons and links on the All Users folder and write autorun entries
    (if required by the software) to the HKU\.DEFAULT autorun key.

    As for Martin's case, a scheduled task (which launches the scanner
    software) that runs everytime the user logs in to the PC (with the HP
    scanner) should do the trick.
