Being a Linux junky, I've always wanted a command that would work like sudo on Windows..., but being a Linux junky, I never cared enough to look for the solution..., now I find "runas."

I probably could have solved a lot of problems significantly quicker knowing that.

Guess it's a sign that I should try to visit the forums more..., I can't think how many months it has been since I came here.

Thanks Tiger Shark!!!

I don't know how it is at your companies, but if we didn't have access to USB Sticks, a significant portion of work would be hampered...

I was actually embarrassed at one of our Primes' sites because they needed to give me a file and I didn't have a thumbdrive... Nothing like looking out of date in the eyes of a customer...

Heck, when I go to a big meeting the main form of files transport is thumbdrive, my little sandisk saved my buttocks once, because the meeting coordinator had forgotten to burn my company's slides onto the meeting cd. If I hadn't had them on my stick, we would have had to present to a room full of a couple hundred people, and who knows how many teleconned in, and present without any pretty pictures to distract them...

Granted, the people I primarily deal with aren't your average company schmucks, so I can see taking access away from those that have no right in the world to have it.

I guess if you can take anything out of what I've just babbled it's to be careful what luser's computer you take USB stick access off of.

You can pry my thumbdrive out of my cold dead hands!! And even then I might fight back... :-P

Take it easy,
