I have a couple of programs that work fine as Power User,
not as user. I know of RUNAS which works fine for the
program but I don't want the user to login as the power
user everytime the user wants to launch the program.

Any suggestions

thanks,
jon
 
The best course of action is to find out what the application actually
requires (normally change permissions on a particular directory or
permissions to write to a registry key in HKLM).

You then use Explorer, cacls.exe or group policy to change the permissions
on the folder/files. Or, for registry keys, regedt32.exe is the tool for
the job, or group policy.

Two great tools for working out which files and keys a program is accessing
are RegMon and FileMon from www.sysinternals.com.

Hope this helps
