Hi Joe,
HOW TO: Enable and Use the "Run As" Command When Running Program

>From a previous post:
You can use the /savecred option to save it the first time the password is
entered and you dont need to enter it from then on.
No there isnt a way to specify the password but you can use the /savecred
option to save it the first time the password
is entered and you dont need to enter it from then on.
For Pro:
You can use the /savecred option to save it the first time the password is
entered and you dont need to enter it from then on.
You add the switch to the shortcut target. Right-click the shortcut and
select Properties, then the Shortcut tab. Edit the target line.
For example, this is the line to run Nero from a limited account:
%systemroot%\system32\runas.exe /user:computername\admin
/savecred "D:\Program Files\ahead\Nero\nero.exe"
The first time you run it, enter the password. After that it won't ask for
one again.
More info:
To create a shortcut using the runas command:
Right-click the desktop, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
In Type the location of the item, type runas and the command parameters you
want to use. In the following table, see examples for creating shortcuts.
Click Next, type a name for the shortcut, and then click Finish.
