Windows XP system user switch cool trick

Users using Windows 2000/XP dual system, it is best not to log in as an administrator group member in daily work. Usually, you should log in to the system as a normal user (member of the Users group). The account of the Users group cannot be modified. System registry settings, operating system files or program files, so it has innate immunity to viruses and Trojans! However, users cannot use applications that can only be executed by a system administrator.

What if I want to use all the features? Just use the "user switch" feature. Let's take Windows XP as an example to see how to use the fast user switching feature.

First, perform fast user switching

Use the fast user switching function to run the application as an administrator directly in the current user environment!

Assuming we are in the normal user environment, we want to configure the trust domain of Norton Personal Security. However, because the current user's "face (ie, permissions)" is not large enough, the firewall configuration program refuses to execute. Let's come up with a fast user switcher: Open "Start → All Programs → Norton Internet Security", right click on the "Norton Internet Security" menu item, select the "Run Mode" menu item, the program will open " Run the Identity dialog box, click the "The following users" radio button, then select an administrator account in the "User Name" drop-down list box, and enter the corresponding account password in the "Password" text box. Finally click the "OK" button. Next, the system will run Norton Personal Security's configuration program as an administrator!

Second, use the "logout" menu method

The most common way to switch users is to access the user switching function through the "logout" menu. To do this, click Start→Logout. In the Uninstall Windows dialog box that is open, click the Switch User button to keep the current session state. On the surface, this is no different from logging out users, but using the switch user method can keep the session opened by the original user account (for example, if you are in the process of downloading the software, the download task will continue after the user switch. If you use "Logout", then the software download task will be forced to close).

Three, use the Runas command

The Linux/UNIX system has a su command. With this command, the user can freely change the face between the super user and the ordinary user. Now Windows 2000/XP also has a similar command?? Runas command. Runas is a DOS command that runs only in the Windows 2000/XP DOS command window. It allows the user to run specified tools and programs with other privileges, rather than the permissions provided by the user account before
. The syntax is as follows:

Runas [{/profile
