hello..

How can I get a program that needs administrator privileges to run.. to auto start on a limited user account... I know how to get it to run by using the 'Run as' thing.. but how can I get it to auto start that from the registry or a short cut in the start up folder.. and save me the hassle of having to start it manually every time I log on??

is it possible? is there any point? If someone could help, it would make me happy.

on Windows XP and the program is Peerguardian

I think the best way to do this is with AutoIt ( http://www.autoitscript.com/ )

AutoIt has a command RunAsSet which lets you set the account username and password before using the Run command. You can then compile the script into an executable and keep your administrator password somewhat safe from inexperienced users.

There is a way to grant specific administrative tokens to a limited account.
