Access restricted folders

[dmarquesdrc]

Hi,

In our windows server domain, we have personal profiles and folders for each user, as usual.
I have some pc's that are used by different people, so I have a general user for each of those pc's.
Sometimes, I need to copy some files into the user folders, but without logging off and logging on again, but the general user doesn't have access to personal folders. So there's any way so I access those folders, entering the right credentials for it?

TIA

One possibility that comes to mind is to simply open a new windows explorer with different credentials. A batch file on the 'general user' desktop would work conveniently for anyone that might need it. Then you'd be able to drag & drop files. Something like:

@echo off
REM clear name variable if last user didn't exit correctly
set name =""
echo Starting explorer with your credentials..
echo Remember to close the explorer window when done!
set /P name = Enter user name
if %name% == "" (
   echo you didn't enter your name
   pause
   goto :eof
   )
runas /user:domain\%name% explorer.exe
exit

Set up roaming user profiles and have them log into the PC as themselves?
