Guest jc Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 I just did a clean install of XP Home and am trying to get admin access to programs from a user account using RunAs, both from the dialog and the command line. I am denied access in all cases. Is there something that needs to be done to enable this? Someone know a reason this might be? jc

That could fail because the credentials needed for the share and the program are different. The only other thing that occurs to me is to check whether you're giving the admin account name in the correct format. Lots of examples here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/runas.mspx?mfr=true -- Nightowl
