Encrypted RunAs is a small tool that is created to make the job of Administrators a little easier, it can be used to run applications or software installations with access rights a standard user does not have.
Why Encrypted RunAs?
When you work with computers you will soon come across software that will not work with limited user rights.
Normally you would have to either add the user to the administrators or Power User group or find why the software requires administrative rights in the first place, this could be due to many reasons ie, trying to access the local machine registry, registering a dll or ocx control etc etc.
With Encrypted RunAs installed, a shortcut to an application can be created that uses an account on the local machine that has administrator rights. Therefore only giving rights that are required for the application to run correctly and not the whole machine.
As an additional security factor, the program uses a CRC fingerprint, to make sure that the program launched is indeed the one that it was intended for, and also verifies the account. Encrypted RunAs also creates files that can be called from logon scripts.
Limitations:
· This TRIAL version can only produce shortcut files that are valid for 3 days using local computer or domain accounts, if a shortcut is created using a domain account a message will pop up stating that it was created using the trial version.
