Run as.... troubles.

[scj6771]

I would like to be able to do a "Run as" to configure any network connections on any given WinXP Pro machine, obviously no "Run as" option is given when you right click that icon in your control panel, I have tried several options like running "runas /user:administrator control.exe" from the command prompt logged on as a user with a restricted account but that does not seem to work, even if I right click on the ncpa found within the System32 folder and specify the admin username and password still I cant configure these options without having Admin rights, and yes the secondary logon is started. Any suggestions on how to configure network connections without logging on as an admin?? Thanks.

I don't think that you can. You can highlight the item in CP, hold down the shift key and right-click and it will give you the Runas option. This doesn't work for Network Connections though.

Curious why you need to do this. You don't generally change network connections that much.
