Run As

[Guest Robert Lindholm]

Hello:

 

I'm having trouble making the necessary adjustments for an end user without

local Administrative control on a Windows XP Pro PC to perform basic

backup/restore operations with a SimpleTech external USB hard drive using

ArcSoft TotalMedia backup software, short of granting Administrative control

of the machine, which is practically implementable.

 

I've tried several possibilities [below] without success and am wondering if

there is a way to create an icon on the users desktop that will run the

ArcSoft backup software with Administrative privilege?

 

- Made end user a backup operator.

- Transferred ownership of directories to end user.

- Adjusted permissions to Modify on directories for end user.

- Adjusted Program Files and Registry settings associated with ArcSoft

software.

 

Any suggestions regarding option above or other solutions would be greatly

appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Bob

RE: Run As

 

Need to make a correction to the original post:

 

Granting Administrative control is NOT practically implementable.

 

Sorry for the confusion...
