runas-savecred

[ceeboks]

hi
found it very comfortable working under xp using the
runas.exe /user:Administrator /savecred command as a restricted user.
works perfect with totalcommander 6.56 but not anymore with
TC7RC1.
any chance to get this implemented again?

thanks

I dont think this is a TC feature. TC is just started with another user credentials by windows. Can you describe what is not working in particular?

you might be right that this is not a special tc feature.....

> Can you describe, what is not working in particular?

well, i click on the link on my desktop to start TC. (C:\WINDOWS\system32\runas.exe /user:Administrator /savecred "D:\ Programme\TotalCommander \totalcmd\Totalcmd.exe".

any tc 6 version got launched now with that command.

but not tc7rc1.....

a dialog window (Öffnen) pops up, asking for the path to the totalcmd.exe.
i choose the .exe, click on open and nothing happens.....

i never tested a tc 7beta. just the rc1.
??

thanks for your reply

Can you check if there is an instance of TC running in the system? The taks manager (Prozesse) tells it to you.

2ceeboks: Confirmed ! runas command fails (with TC 7rc1) while 6.56 works fine

I tried successfully LaunchTC by Lefteous which does almost the same, but works like a charm on an USB stick/CD too.


2SanskritFritz: runas should run in parallel to an existing instance, just using another user environment/permissions.

no, there is no instance of tc running. neither under the restricted account nor with admin rights. no tc listed in both tasks managers.

True, I just suspected, that there was maybe an instance previously started with the same settings, that was unable to show the gui.
