RunAss

Launching an application under Local System account

Description

Advanced programmers, system administrators or geek users often need to run an application under the Local System account. You might use the built-in at command with option /INTERACTIVE. But in Vista, this option no longer works. Also using at command is a bit clumsy. I wrote a tool that is capable of doing that in both pre-Vista system and in Vista.

RunAss.exe uses credentials of Winlogon.exe in order to run under local System account.

Usage

To run an application, use the following syntax:

RunAss.exe ApplicationToRun Parameters

Example:

RunAss.exe C:\Windows\Regedit.exe

RunAss.exe will work on all NT-based Windows (32-bit and 64-bit).
