Within XY control or not? : "Run As" in list conte

Post by j_c_hallgren »

I've got my system setup such that I'm running under a user account instead of Administrator, thus when I'm going to install some software, I generally use the "Run As" option (via a Shift plus right-click on filename) to do the install with Admin status...

I've noticed this option isn't available when using XY...so is this something that is not accessable to XY or just not currently coded/available?
If it's not possible, that's ok...I realize XY has some limititions imposed by OS and VB...I'll just than have to continue to do installs via Win Expl.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

"Run As..." via Shift+Right Click works fine here and always did! :?

Well... :? :P :( Because it is not showing on my system!
But then again, I'm on W2K with a user acct...so maybe there is some differences because of that?

Dunno. I can only say that it always worked and I never heard any complaints.

So who else here is W2K? Since it might be related to that in some way...

Just tried it in X2...works there...then tried A43...doesn't work there...

Just a FYI: Under WinServer2003 the menu "Run As" is there also...

:( and :? ! Because...I needed this "Run As" again tonight and had to use Win Expl in order to do it...even with most recent beta, I still don't have this context menu option on my user acct! So nothing has changed in all the time since I initially posted this thread...
