LSrunas

LSrunas is a simple-to-use console application that enables you to run commands in the name of another PC user, as long as you know their credentials, as an alternative to logging out and in again with another account.

There is no setup kit available, so that makes LSrunas portable. You can save the executable file to a custom location on the disk and call its process from a Command Prompt dialog, as well as save it to a pen drive or other external storage unit, in order to run it on any machine with minimum effort.

An important factor worth keeping in mind is that it does not add new entries to the Windows registry, Start menu or any others part of the disk, thus leaving it clean after removing LSrunas.

The available parameters are automatically listed at startup and there are several examples with full paths provided. All you have to do is specify the other user's name and password, together with the domain, command to execute and parameters, as well as starting path for the command.

As expected, the software utility has minimal impact on computer performance, consuming low CPU and RAM. We have not encountered any unpleasant surprises in our evaluation, since LSrunas did not hang or crash. To sum it up, this small-sized program is worth keeping around on the HDD for any users who prefers console apps to graphical interfaces.
