Runas Touch Screen Application
















Purpose:
One of the problems I had at work was the ability to run an application as a different user on a touch screen computer. So I wrote an application that dynamically creates buttons based on what it reads from a text file called paths.txt. This program does support arguments and should be able to figure out how to break up the path to find them.

To install just extract the application and paths.txt to a folder and runas away.

Requirements:
.net 4 framework
osk.exe in the usual place if you want to use the onscreen keyboard

TODO:
Add some more error checking with reading the text file
Clean code
Maybe allow this to work with domain user if someone wants.
