Run vovtsd as a Different User

The vovtasker started by vovtsd will run as the user running vovtsd. If you need for this to be different from the user logged in at the keyboard and screen, you have several options.

On Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you can use the runas.exe command included with the operating system. For example, on Windows XP, logged in as 'user1', you could start a command shell using:

C:\temp> runas /user:domain-name\username cmd

Note: You may need to mount the filesystems for that user. On Windows NT, the drive letters are shared, but on later versions, each user can mount a different filesystem on a given drive letter.
