RunAsCurrentUser.exe question

I noticed when I use the Power Profile Wizard the command is “RunAsCurrentUser.exe --q”. What does the --q switch do? I know the --w is wait. Also is there a significant difference between 2.0 and 2.0.2?

Thanks

Hey Lewis,

The “–q” was added in RunAsCurrentUser.exe 2.0.2 to allow “run quiet” functionality. Previously, even if you had the actionscript command:

runhidden RunAsCurrentUser.exe cmd.exe

a cmd box will still appear. With the -q command, whatever RunAsCurrentUser.exe runs should be suppressed and hidden.

Can you combine the --q and --w or does the --q also wait?

Thanks

I believe you can use "RunAsCurrentUser.exe --w --q " to effectively do the “waithidden” actionscript command. I think the --w has to come before --q for it to work correctly.
