Windows 7
If I am using Outlook 2007 with it and unlike in XP you can right click on the outlook icon and choose runas and choose a domain account. In windows 7 I have to drill down to the program files and find the outlook exe to do this. Is there a registry edit that I can do or something simple to allow users Oulook to always login in under another account? Seems just entering it off network does not work you have to actually choose runas for all outlook functions to work properly.

My machine only has my own account and administrator, so I was not able to test for that. I have multiple accounts on my XP desktop and it allows multiple users.
I will continue to look, and perhaps someone else will know also. .. Thinkpads_User

That seems to work ok with xp but not on 7, it only shows run as Administrator unless you right click on the outlook.exe file. Certain functions of outlook anywhere do not work unless the program is chosen run as the user in the right domain. Is there a way to edit the registry for this?

The issue isnt the permissions, its the fact they are not logging onto the pc with the correct credentials. Most functions in outlook will work but when you are not on the network a few functions will not. That is why it has to use the run as command so that even if the pc is logged in under a different account the outlook will work for any domain user.

Would sysinternals allow for this setup?
Hmm, what I described works for most applications, but not Outlook, Word or any other Office application.

Ok, this works:
æOffice 2007: runas /user:ADILSTU\accountUserN
although it creates a new outlook profile. Also can you change this command into a vbscript so that all someone has to do is double click on it?
