David, I believe the task scheduler included with IE 4.0 (and higher?) under NT4.0 allows one to give a login and password that the task should be run under. Also, in network properties dialog box, when adding the computer to the domain, it asks for the name and password of someone with enough rights to add computer accounts to the domain. Both of these are handled through dialog boxes not invoked with ctrl-alt-delete. <shrug> On Fri, Jan 21, 2000 at 03:49:07PM -0800, David Terrell wrote: > In all the hubbub over whether the semantic of the Run As... feature > in Windows 2000, a much more important shortcoming is that this is > the first time (I know of) that the system asks for your password > through a mechanism other than the trusted path (ctrl-alt-del to > login, ctrl-alt-del to change password).
