ShellExecuteAs

[AppTux]

Is it possible to make or is there already a ShellExecuteAs function???

Thanks in advance, AppTux

[Zer0Velocity]

Might want to take alook at RunAs

[AppTux]

I already did that, but if I want to open the site (like www.autoitscript.com) it's impossible for RunAs.

I was thinking about a ShellExecuteAs() function made by myself. But that's really hard I think, but it's possible, but you need a lot of time to make such a good function as ShellExecute(). Maybe if I don't have anything else to do, can I try to make a ShellExecuteAs() but not now.... Not interested and I have other things to do.

Eh ! you seemed interested in the first post. whats changed?

I'm pretty certain its possible do such a thing with runas, but I have other things to do.

did you try as using the URL as an argument to the browser you want to open it with?

That's possible, I also was thinking about that, but I'm working on a more advanced run for Windows, with functions like a logfile, abbreviations and search on the internet using search engines, so it's a bit more complicated than you suggested

[iamtheky]

so it's a bit more complicated than you suggested explained

that kinda kills the purpose Shellexecute has, cause it wont use the users default browser.

Although i suppose default browser could be checked in the registry.

This might be a retarded way to do it, but assuming that ShellExecute inherits it's credentials from the calling script you may be able to do the following:

Create a function that uses RunAs to run another instance of itsself, passing a filename in the command line. (in quotes).

Then add a line to the top of your script that checks the command line when the script starts and ShellExecutes it if a file is specified, then exits.

This should allow you to run the script, as User1, which launches the same script as User2, but with an CmdLine argument, which then ShellExecutes a file as User2 and exits.

I'm having trouble explaining it clearly. I hope you understand.

[Carlo84]

got it use runas with the value obtained from

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command

if not found (current user) then read

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command

stringreplace "%1" with your url in quotes

This way the url will still be launched in its default browser.

[Edit-1] concidering you run it as a diffrent user you should probably just need HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command

[Edit-2] check post below

I think I got this Function from a Script by wakillon.

Func _GetDefaultBrowser()
    Local $sRegRead = RegRead("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command", "")
    $sRegRead = StringRegExpReplace($sRegRead, '\A[^"]*"([^"]+)".*\Z', '\1')
    If FileExists($sRegRead) Then 
        Return $sRegRead
    EndIf
    Return SetError(1, 0, "")
EndFunc   ;==>_GetDefaultBrowser

Func _GetDefaultBrowser()
    Local $gb_RegRead = RegRead("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command", "")
    $gb_RegRead = StringRegExpReplace($gb_RegRead, '\A[^"]*"([^"]+)".*\Z', '\1')
    If FileExists($gb_RegRead) Then Return $gb_RegRead
    Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
EndFunc   ;==>_GetDefaultBrowser

I like how it checks if its a valid string and if the path exists.

i changed it a lil that after doing that check it returns it with the syntax specified in the registry instead of just the exe path :-)

$i = _GetDefaultBrowserString('http://google.com')
ConsoleWrite($i & @LF)

Func _GetDefaultBrowserString($url)
    Local $gb_RegRead = RegRead("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command", "")
    Local $path = StringRegExpReplace($gb_RegRead, '\A[^"]*"([^"]+)".*\Z', '\1')
    If Not FileExists($path) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    $path = StringReplace($gb_RegRead, '%1', $url)
    If @extended = 0 Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0)
    Return $path
EndFunc   ;==>_GetDefaultBrowserString

returns in my case:

"D:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -requestPending -osint -url "http://google.com"

Nice update Djarlo

[AppTux]

Thanks for all your replies, I'll try soon, but how about images or whatever, do I have to replace

Local $gb_RegRead = RegRead("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command", "")

with this: ($extension is the extension of the file, like .au3, .png, .jpg, .bat)

Local $gb_RegRead = RegRead("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\" & $extension & "\shell\open\command", "")

Edit: edited syntax above

Did some research in the registry, and in the .png folder in the registry there isn't a shell subfolder, but:

• OpenWithList
• OpenWithProgIds
• PersistentHandler

And in the OpenWithList folder are 2 subfolders called:

• ois.exe
• PictureViewer.exe

And in the folder OpenWithProgIds are 3 REG_NONE values, and 1 REG_SZ value.

REG_NONE keys:

• Opera.image
• pngfile
• QuickTime.png

And these means to the same called folders in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder.

And in those is a folder named shell.

Now I have to find out where is written which one is used (Opera.image, pngfile or QuickTime.png). Anyone a idea?

P.S. : registry is so confusing...

[Carlo84]

the extentions in the registry can also refer to a diffrent registry string.

"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.png" should say "pngfile"

so check "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pngfile\shell\open\command" ;-)

same for the others

[AppTux]

I'll try tomorrow, I don't have time today

You can also use RunAs for urls like so:

Local $AdminAccount = 'YourAdmintratorAccount'
Local $Domain = 'YourDomain_or_ComputerName'
Local $Password = 'YourPassword'
Local $URL = 'http://www.google.com'

$Return = RunAs($AdminAccount, $Domain, $Password, 4, @Comspec & ' /c start ' & $URL, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)

MsgBox(262208, 'Result', $Return)
