RunAs mode issue when registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER holds information about the default database

Hi,

 

Could someone help me with an issue I'm currently experiencing.

 

I'm using the RunAs mode to allow me to launch an application under a user account that is different from the actual logged on account

 

Within the Windows registry our software will add a default database key corresponding to the current user under HKEY_CURRENT_USER so when an application is launched it knows what database to connect to.

 

When I launch an application using a different user, however, it connects to the default database corresponding to this user, which so happens to be a different database

 

I know how to update the registry but when I do this at run time it updates the default database fo the current user. Is there anyway when using RunAs to update the registry key for the specific 'RunAs' user

 

Thanks


Adam
