Re: Automatic Updates as a Limited User

I have a feeling this might be fixable by tweaking a some local security policy option.

I don't have an XP Home CD avialable to me...just pro, so I can't investigate.

Here's that error Home Edition will give, if anyone is interested.

If I do so happen to find a way around it without using Safe Mode, i'll be sure to post it but it isn't of much priority.

changing your network connection settings (try and change your IP address using runas ) is one of them.
I launch a command prompt as admin, then type "control panel". Voila, a control panel where everything will run as admin Including Network Connections.

Yeah, XP Home users will have to create an admin user.
Oh crap! I didn't know there was a command to launch control panel from the command line.
