The reason for this little tool for me was that in the company I was working we had use two different active directory users for our work. Most tasks could be done by the main user account but all development tasks had to be executed as a different user. So we had to start Visual Studio another dev tools as a different user every time. Even though, it's possible to start a program as a different user by right-clicking and selecting 'Run as different user', I kind of find the usability of this approach unsatisfactory. The same is with the built-in command 'runas'.

Both the above options are far more sophisticated, sanitised and generally bullet prove than this little project. I just wanted to be able to start a program without any parameters but with a username and password in one command. That's what it currently does.

This project needs cleanup and more documentation. Let's say it's on my todo list.

Handle with care and (more importantly) HAVE FUN!

Cheers! Oli
