How to use Runas for multiple instances of OSC Manager

[martinm]

Morning

I have just looked at the new update and is looking good. A feature that I've been wishing for - the ability to have multiple instances of manager running at the same time / links to multiple stores at the same time - seems to have been added with the description...

"Several instances of Store Manager can be running at a time using "runas" command"

Can you point me in the direction of how to do this, please? I'm running on Vista.

Cheers

Martin

Hello Martin,

runas is a windows utility that allows you to run programs under different user accounts at the same time being loggeg in under your account.

runas is a shell command that can be executed in command prompt.

Start -> Run -> type cmd and press Enter key

type

runas /?

and press Enter to see help

simple example:

runas /user:user1 c:/Windows/notepad.exe

you will be asked to enter password for user1 account and if password is correct it will run notepad.exe under user1 credentials.

Thanks, Serge - got it working like a charm. Also, I found a program that allows you to have runas on the right click rather than having to go to shell (you have this with XP but not Vista, for some reason) - the link is http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../cc300361.aspx and hopefully will help people.

Cheers
