    Have a look at the runas command in Win2K. Works fine from the command line,
    i haven't tried using it from within the normal GUI.

    Subject: Always admin rights for only one exec???

    Hello list

    I have just set up my new w2k workstation. I have added a second user
    with which i will work under normal cirumstances.
    Now some programms dont work any more. For example active ports, which
    shows me which programm uses which
    Port. I have tried to give the mainuser (!admin) all rights on that
    folder and it's files. I have also given full access
    To registry tree via regedt32, but it still wont work. If i right click
    on the executable as mainuser and then choose execute as....and enter
    the pass for admin it works fine. How am i able to give always
    adminrights to this prog. I am not sure but i think i heard from a tool
    which is able to perform this task. Any hints on this??

    Sincerely

    Matthias Güntert
