Thanx Ben for the idea,

I think you mean srvany.exe which runs an application as a service, but I would have the same problem in that the user would then need permissions to start the service to run the script.

RunAs is included in windows 2000 too, but it doesn't allow you to put the password in as a parameter using the command line. I am going to try and get kix to pass it over using SENDKEYS.
