I have been meaning to try this program but haven't got round to it yet. Let me know how it goes if you try it. www.softforall.com |

| 434646 | 2006-03-02 08:47:00 | thanks folks, however, RunAsUser.exe is not working (running error). For changing registry I haven't found out yet where to do that. Also haven't found out yet what Microsoft Vista or quickbooks is. Sysinternals are very nice tools, view only tho, can't change anything. |

I have just tried RunasUser on an .exe file that I had to run with an admin account. I can now run it with a limited account. I have only done the one file so I will have to try others to see how good it is overall, but it did work. Where was the running error? In the RunasUser program file or the new .exe etc file you created? |
