Todo administrador tarde o temprano se enfrenta con el problema de habilitar temporalmente o puntualmente a un usuario para que pueda realizar una función de administrador o instalar algún programa / parche. No nos equivoquemos , nada es comparable al fantástico “sudo” de Linux, pero esta aplicación nos puede ayudar bastante. Funciona de la siguiente manera, primero tenemos que rellenar todos los datos del administrador, el comando a ejecutar y un directorio. Steel Run As crea un fichero ejecutable que el usuario podrá ejecutar, con todos los privilegios del administrador (nota, si tienes la UAC habilitada en Vista, en XP no tendrás este problema, tendrás que elevarla, para saber como pulsa aquí).

Vista then copies it over to the system 32 folder and registers them properly with the UAC intact. Since I use access as a backend database it does copy the database to the virtual store so I had to caution users to delete that file but not the folder. So far the common file folder helped me alot. I noticed that anything that says setup.exe also prompts for the elevated permsissions level. But setup.exe is too generic for most people to use.

The program was written for XP. Vista marks the program with shield icon and asks for elevated rights in order to run it, but I actually I don't want to provide the elevated rights. I understand that with administrative credentials the program will not be 100% functional under Vista, but I'm fine with it. I prefer to run it with limited functionality instead of not running it at all, or running it as an admin. I’d like to run a program without granting it administrative rights.

But it didn't act the same as if I modified the checkbox in that tab. Probably something else is still requiered besides adding RUNASADMIN to this regkey. Any idea ? Yuval.
