Developer’s Description

By MAST Hard- & Software
Start applications with other credentials without re-logging on Windows.
RunAs Professional is a substitute for Microsoft's command runas. If you use RunAs Professional you can start an application with other Credentials without log off and log on. Because Nero does not run very properly without administrative rights you can build a crypted file with RunAs Professional in which all the logon-data is stored. Then just double click on this file an Nero is launched with administrative rights. RunAs Professional kills the restrictions given by Microsoft's runas. It is possible to run runAs Professional from the commandline with a password argument. With RunAs Professional you could build crypted RAP files in which all the logon-data and the application to run is stored in. Simply with a doubleclick you can run the application with other user rights. RunAs Professional is ideal for Helpdesk support and Scripting.
