Seems kind of messy. Then again, it might work just as well as my solution: Under Windows/2000 you can use RUNAS to start a program as another user. I've done this on my home PC to allow my son to run certain programs that demand ADMINISTRATOR rights. In fact, Nero is one of these programs. Basically, you setup a specific account to be used as the RUNAS account, making that account a member of ADMINISTRATORS. You modify the shortcut to the application to run "c:\winnt\system32\RUNAS.exe /user:RunNERO c:\Progra~1\nero\NERO.EXE". When invoked, a dialog box will appear prompting for a password. Some work may be required to secure this account from abuse. In my home environment, I deleted everything from the RunNERO profile except for the STARTUP program group, and that contains a LOGOUT.EXE command, and restricted login to that single workstation. More could (and should) be done in a production environment. Fortunately, my son isn't a hacker, and hasn't figured out how to exploit this vulnerability (yet!) ______________________________________________________________________ Mark A.
