running with different credentials.

We have a very well written program (not) that will not run in a limited
account unless it is run with different credentials ie. admin plus
password. Is there any way to get this pile of garbage to remember the
fact that every time it needs to run, it will need to use different
credentials which have already been inputted. At present, evry time the
shortcut is used we have to go the trough same proceedure each time.
PITA!
TIA

Hi Mike,
The program should be able to run properly if the user had Power User
rights. (Need to be logged in as an admin or a user with admin rights) You
can modify the user by right clicking My Computer, Manage, click Local Users
and groups, in the tree on the left, then double click on the user. When the
next window comes up, click on Member Of tab, then click Add button on the
bottom. Here you will be able to grant the user Power Level access. Should
take care of the problem.

Hello Fido,
The problem is the "users" concerned are bunch of 8 year old trainee
"cyber terrorists", hence the need for a limited account for them.(They
haven't managed to crack the admin password yet though) What other
"rights" would this action confer on them.
I've tried what you suggest on this PC and when I select Member of Tab,
then add, I get a Select Groups dialogue box. Three boxes,
Select this Object type (Group, no others show when clicking Object type
box))
From this Location (Computer name, Location button only shows this PC)
and then
Enter the object names to select. (grayed out until inputted)
I've been onto the people who originally made the software (there is a
version 2,) to see if the original problem still exists but as of yet,
no reply.
Many thanks for your reply

Fix the program.
You can do what you asked but then they'll always be able to make themselves admins. It is only meant for admins who are running as a User.
Get regmon and filemon and monitor your program and find what it doesn't like and then change the secirity on that object(s).

Thanks David,
When we try to run it without changing the credentials it says that
there is either not enough disc space (new 150Gig) or a dll is missing.
we then change the creds and all's well until next time we need to run
it and have to do it all over again.
The prog version is supposed to W2000 compliant but have contacted the
software house with this problem and am awaiting a reply.
Many thanks

Run those two programs, run your program as a user, where it tries to do something and isn't allowed Regmon and Filemon will tell you what object.

David,
Many thanks, very useful apps. unfortunately they will not run in the
limited account and if I change it the problem they would be checking
for disappears.
Its the actual prog exec file that refuses to run, saying that the disc
may be full.
Still no word from the supplier.

See if XP's Auditing can help. Type auditing in help.
Reg & File mon can show your the files and then you could see which ones might have wierd security and check each file manually.
