Running Program Under Different Credentials?
Apr 27, 2010
I am writing a program which will require a user to login with a different account from the one they use to logon to the computer with (as they have a normal account and an admin account). The program needs to run under their admin account.
I have made a login dialog that authenticates them ok, but my question is is there any way to make another form run under the credentials typed in on the login form? i.e program loads up the login form, but there after the program uses the credentials supplied in the login form.

I have a program written in VB.net 2003 that are folks run under alternate credentials. Inside the app there is an option to open a UNC path to a network share. We were running Windows XP SP3 and IE6. The code is simple just a call to the explorer.exe with /root,\UNCPath. After installing IE 8 onto the machine this no longer works. Best I can tell the code is still working but now being executed in non interactive mode so nothing opens up. You can however see a new spawned explorer.exe running under the system account for each attempt at opening a UNC Path. Any ideas what IE8 could have done to cause this behavior?

I have a window service that Inherits System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase. While running in debug mode (havent tested compiled), the thread does not see the current user credentials. I need the credentials so I can set up the WebProxy and I would prefer to use the account that service is running under instead of passing the user and pwd as a string.Can someone help me figure out why the code running in the class the inherits from ServiceBase does not have have the credentials of the logged in user?

I'd like for my application to prompt for user credentials as soon as it starts. The reason for this being that it is an app for our IT Helpdesk that will be run on user's machines, and I need to make sure it is always run with administrator credentials.
Is there a simple way to get the program to prompt for credentials on execution?

I wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

I had the battle system 60% worked out. Went to play some Dragon Age, when I came back nothing was working as the way I left it. I don't know what happened.The richtext box is supposed to disaply the attack monster description, and then it's name, the amount of damage it does. I had it so that I could attack, be attacked, and display damage, and attack discription of both player and monster. when I opened my project to work on it again, hardly anything was working right.[code]

I am writing a program (that i have recieved a lot of help with) that creates input files for another program. The bridge between the two programs is a program that has been named the task manager as like the windows task manager it shows what tasks are being done/have been done/are about to be done (or executed)
What i would like to know is how can i run the already installed bridge program from my program? Do i need to run it by opening the executable that contains it? Or by declaring the bridge program as a type/structure/class and going from there to open it?If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room

Although I signed up a year ago I didnt have enough free time to carry on programming, but have now made some time.
I have spent the past 2 hours trying to look for a code for visual basic 2008 that will check if a program is running.
It would be really helpful if someone wrote the whole code out and made it clear exactly where I put them name of the .exe file

I am creating a program that will check if a program is running, by checking its window title (NOT THE FILENAME, ITS WINDOW TITLE) and seeing if it is currently running.
So far I was only able to check if the program was running by its filename

I'm making a program in VB to check if a certain program is running, and if not, to start it up, because I'm hardly ever at my computer and sometimes the program that is being checked for existence tends to close down often, so I need something that will check for the existence of the program in question, and start it if it's not running

I have a program that 10-20 people use throughout the day. Because things are rapidly fluctuating I occasionally have to take the database offline, or restart the server for other reasons. I'd like to have a better way to make sure no one is currently in the program than walking to each person and asking them.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel if something like this already exists.
The thoughts I had were:
Create a database "history" entry each time users open or close the program to see who is currently using the system. Use WCF to have the clients "tell" the server that they are connected every X seconds.

I would like to be able to close a running program (service) from another program.I know I can use...
Process.Start("C:XxxYyyProg.exe")
to start program: - Prog.exe
Located at: - C:XxxYyy.
But is there any way to also stop (close) Prog.exe from within another program ? The same one that started it for example...PS I should mention that in this case, Prog.exe is a third party program which I can't alter. It does have an Exit option from a right click.

So my class was recently given an assignment to make a Tic Tac Toe program with options of playing against the computer, or another person. I was able to 2 player game work, but I have run into a problem with the two player game. Whenever I start debugging and click on one of my buttons (these represent the 9 spaces on a tic tac toe board), the gameplay form freezes, and becomes uncontrollable. The close button on the form doesn't even work, I have to go back to VB and click stop debugging to close the unresponsive form. I checked my original two player game, which has a similar code, but that works just fine. VB does not show any error messages or give any warning.

I'm trying to run a program (mame.exe) within a vb program. Mame is a program that allows you to run old video games. The games are stored in rom files. If you want to run mame.exe from a dos prompt, the syntax is "c:/mame.exe [rom]". The [rom] is the particular game you are running. I'm trying to create a front end menu from which I can execute games.
I've tried:
Process.Start(
"c:/mamefiles/mame.exe [rom]")
and I get an error that says it can't find the file.
I tried
Process.Start(
"c:/mamefiles/mame.exe", "[rom]")
and it seems to start the program but immediately shuts down mame.I tried
Shell("c:/mamefiles/mame.exe [rom]")
and again it seems to start the program but immediately shuts down mame.

i have a visual basic program, and it has a button where, when clicked:
Process.Start("Mover.exe")
Now that works fine, except mover.exe needs to be run as administrator to do its job properly,
is there any way that the vb program could run it with admin privelages?
