Re: Limited User Account

I don't see the "Run as" option---I was curious to see if I could run it as a Limited User and leave everything else alone.
If you go to start>all programs>internet explorer and right click you should see the run as option. The desktop icon will not allow it.
Not sure why you'd want to run IE as an admin from a limited account though. Seems to defeat the purpose with all the nasties on the net. IE should run just fine w/o run as enabled from a limited user account.
If you want to add your IE favorites to a limited user IE browser, log into your admin account then go to start>my computer>local disk>documents and settings>current user and you'll see a star for IE's favorites. Just copy it to a floppy or cd or save it in the shared documents folder and then switch to your limited user account and follow the same path and paste it into the limited user's folder in documents and settings. All of your favorite sites will be there in that browser for you.
HTH
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I want to see if I can run IE as a Limited User while I am logged on to my computer as the Administrator; you're right, doing it the other way doesn't make any sense. IE is the only program that concerns me running with Administrator privileges, so I thought if I could change just IE to Limited User, that would resolve my concerns.

I tried to find "Run as" from the desktop icons, I'll try it again as you explained.

Thanks!

Well, I guess I the expression "great minds think alike" is applicable!

Make a shortcut with the target:

psexec -l "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

and run it when you need to run IE as limited user (strips the Administrators group and allows only privileges assigned to the Users group).
