Download RunAsTool v1.5 – Run Programs as Another User Without Password Prompt

RunAsTool v1.5 is a lightweight Windows utility that allows you to run programs with administrator or another user’s privileges without being prompted for a password each time. It works by creating a pre-authorized shortcut for a specific program and a specific user account, so that the target program launches with elevated rights automatically whenever the shortcut is executed.

This is particularly useful in corporate or shared PC environments where standard users need to run certain administrative tools or legacy software that requires elevated privileges, but where giving out the administrator password is not practical or secure. IT administrators can set up RunAsTool shortcuts for specific applications without exposing credentials to end users.

RunAsTool is completely portable, requires no installation, and leaves no traces in the registry. It supports all Windows versions from XP through Windows 11, making it a versatile solution for managing application privilege elevation in both home and enterprise settings.
