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
