How to access timedate with Windows Users privilege? 2

[grofaty]

Hi,
using Windows XP SP2 I have set Windows user to have only Users privilege (Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Compputer Management | Local users | Users | "Member of" tab).

When logged in with user Users privileges double click on left-bottom clock icon in taskbar produces error: "You don't have proper privilege level to change the System time."

So this error means I can't access time-date with Users privileges.

Work around:
1. Start | Run | cmd
2. enter command: runas /user:Administrator cmd
3. timedate.cpl

How to create shortcut icon to click on this icon to have access to timedate window?

Thanks,
Grofaty

Hi,
I have found out solution:
1. create bat file and save it with following command:

cmd /c timedate.cpl

2. download program Runasuser from web page:

http://www.palmersoft.co.uk/main.asp?content=runasuser

and install the program.

3. run Runasuser program wizard and pick a "batch file" option in creating the exe file.

Thanks,

Hi,
is there any setting I could set: double click on right-bottom date-time icon on taskbar to execute with Runasuser exe file?
Thanks,

Why don't you just add the Users group to the "Change the system time" user rights assignment?

You can use either of these methods...

- go to Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, and then Local Security Policy, click Local Policies and then User Rights Assignment, look for Change the system time, and then add the Users group

or

- click Start, then Run, type gpedit.msc, under Computer Configuration click Windows Settings, then Security Settings, then Local Policies....the rest is the same as above
