Re: Workaround Admin Rights to play AOM

The Problem is in fact the XP Home version, On Home it does not have /SAVECRED which saves the Password you typed in for further use later - this is included in XP Pro of course. The Same effect in fact of connecting to a Shared Drive, on Pro it asks for Login Box then give you the option to Save this Infomation where as Home is Missing that Save part.

I have tried both the RunAS command line and the RunAs from the short cut and each time the user was asked what to login with on the Home Edition where as the Pro Edition did not once I had typed it in once.

Now there is a Security Loophole with /SAVECRED anyhow, once you have set up the shortcut and typed in your password, that same person can run ANY Command as Administrator just by using the RUNAS /savecred /user:administrator CMD although I am sure the person who you want to run the game is not as clued up as this anyhow.
