Run program w/ another user's rights

[MaxZak]

I have to run a program (an exe) with a specific user.
I'm using the "wscript.shell" object (run method) but it executes with "SYSTEM"'s rights. I've tried to use the "runas" command, but i have to specify the password after the launch of the command...
Suggestions? Tanks

You can use WMI. Here's an example of starting a process:

To supply credentials, you'll use the ConnectServer method of the SWbemLocator object. Search the MSDN for examples.

Or you could create a COM DLL to interface with the Windows API. For ideas see,
