hi, for start a program with another user, you must use the command "RunAs" or "RunAsWait".
RunAs ( "username", "domain", "password", logon_flag, "filename" [, "workingdir" [, show_flag [, opt_flag ]]] )
RunAsWait ( "username", "domain", "password", logon_flag, "filename" [, "workingdir" [, show_flag [, opt_flag ]]] )
for more informations read the help of AutoIt "F1".
bye, Asilus
