RE: How to force a program to run in READ-ONLY mode?

Hi Simon,

Create some really restricted user and use "runas" command.

Eg: runas /USER:DummyUser YourProgram.exe

With this you will execute program under restricted credentials. How
restricted those credentials will be is up to you.

Hope that helps.

Goran

Subject: How to force a program to run in READ-ONLY mode?

Hi,

I'm curious, is there a simple way or a "shell utility" to force a  
program (under MS-Windows 2000) to run in read only?

I want to make sure the program doesn't write anything anyware (Just 
load and run in memory)

Thanks.
