I believe 'runas' is a shell command. I need the command to be 'myexe.exe' followed by some argument which would make it run under different credentials. Any other hints ?

Any modifier that comes after the command has to be built into the program. An example is iexplore.exe /k This opens Internet Explorer in kiosk mode and is built into the executable. Unless you write a script which executes the shell command with the program if you pass a modifier to the script like myscript.bat that runs myfile.exe normally but myscript.bat /another that runs myfile.exe through the shell command as another user.

very silly @kellogs obviously you cannot say there is no way around it. In fact there most definitely is a way around it. I once ran a script that did runas and wrote a password, and there is a program that will run a cmd shell hidden. So it is possible in theory, as a combined solution. The program that runs things hidden is HSTART ntwind.com/software/hstart.html
