runas substitute

Hi there!
I would like to know if there is a way to locally run a program with
different credentials form those of the current user, without invoking the
"runas" command. In other words I need vbscript code who launch an
application with an username and password provided as variables in the code
itself, without asking the user. I tried WMI, using
"WbemScripting.SWbemLocator" object and "objLocator.ConnectServer" method
but they only works remotely, not locally.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Bye
Andrea

Most people I know use a utility program called PSEXEC.EXE to do this.
PSEXEC is part of the PSTOOLS suite. This suite of tools is Freeware
available at www.sysinternals.com. Give it a shot.

P.S. Download all the PSTOOLS as most do things on remote PC's like list
processes, kill processes, shutdown.

Try the tool runasSpc on
http://www.robotronic.de/runasspcEn.htm
it will never be asked for a password because it is in a encrypted file.
You can also use the tool without encryption to enter the password directly.
runasspc.exe /program:"C:\Programme\Windows NT\Pinball\pinball.exe"
/domain:"localhost" /user:"testadmin" /password:"password"
