Hhhm, well as u know(or you should!) i don't have xp, i have Gentoo/Vista/Mac(all 3 running same time...lazy to download xp and don't have time), i am trying to help someone that has xp to run an application as admin(on xp) from a non admin account.
The issue is a server forced Desktop background. The account in question has no rights to changing background so i figured in order to overwrite the server forced background i ll need to run the little background change program as an admin. I got a program in his executable folder to change background but the server forced background over writes it. I also tried to doing it through registry editor (regedit), but it didn't work, (server seams to over write the users registry.
Just remind me the clicks how to run a program as 'System' or 'Admin' so it doesn't get overwritten. I hope i am not mixing my OS here, (used many).
