You can do a quick check by tapping the Windows key and looking for the current user panel. You should now be back into the orginal administrator account. In CP2 type: taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe When you're done with your work, just do the same thing in reverse. You can save yourself the hassel later by keeping the command prompt windows open for later use.
Open CP1 and type: taskkill /f /IM explorer.exeĭepending on the computer, it may create a profile for the user if they have never logged onto there before. Note: A new command prompt will open (CP2), this is the user who are you trying to login as. OR the way that I prefer it runas /profile cmd Under your admin account, open Command Promptįor local account runas /profile /user:computernamehere\username cmdįor domain account runas /profile /user:domainname\username cmd Note: I'm going to refer to this first Command Prompt as CP1 to eliminate confussion later.
of 'wanting the whole desktop would become the user's, etc. I've noticed a lot of other people mentioning variations on the runas command and how you need to know the users password, which is true, but I don't think that anyone has quiet answered the question.
