Hey,

Running Programs for a standard user

Hello

You mentioned checking the the box 'Run as Administrator'

This is the opposite of what I require ,I wanted to avoid running programs as admin . By unchecking 'Run As Administrator' I am still getting an admin credential verification prompt

Any further suggestions ?

 

running DOS as ADMIN

I suggested that in post #4 but @bromberg doesn't seem to have tried it yet...

 

running DOS as ADMIN

I was trying to eliminate this as an issue to check through. It will be covered by my step B below.


Change the batch file's shortcut to include the log file output and then run it from the shortcut.

Your shortcut already has the run as Admin property set from what you have posted previously - if not then
1 Right-click on the shortcut
2 [check you have added the output to its Target field]
3 Click on Advanced
4 Set the checkbox for Run as Admin
5 OK, OK


Then you'll just be able toA double-click on the shortcut,
B give Admin approval,
C watch the Command window flicker then
D read the output file in Notepad.- Remember to remove all the Pause lines from the batch file first or you'll just see the batch file's Command window hanging there.

There are more complicated ways of setting up a batch file to run as Admin [some of which have been discussed in this thread already] but, since you are just doing this as a temporary method of fault diagnosis, I do not see the point in doing any more work than is necessary.
