Hey Folks,

I have several IBM ThinkPad Laptops that we just got all
running Windows XP Professional. These Laptops have
limited accounts setup for all their primary users, as to
not allow to mess with any of the system settings.
However, their primary use is a piece of clinical software
which won't run properly outside of an Administrator
account on any of the Laptops. It needs to append to a log
file on every run, which the limited account doesn't have
access to.

However, I can use the 'run as' command to run said
program as Administrator or any other admin account which
is on the machine, it just doesn't save the setting. Is
there any way to tell an application to always run itself
under an administrator's account, no matter who is logged
onto the laptop? There's only 3 accounts on the laptops in
question 2 administrator accounts (1 the
default 'Administrator) & 1 limited account for the
computers user. All I need the Laptop to do is run this
one program as Administrator or the other admin account
under the limited account. Any advice? I could use help
ASAP. Thanks!

-Bill
