Smart Launch profile issue and running in admin
« on: December 23, 2011, 07:59:36 PM »
Ok, so I have 2 issues with Smart launch I need help solving.

1) Is there a way to run Smart Launch in a user profile instead of in admin mode without it asking for a password or giving warnings? We want users to be able to just use smart launch without having to worry about if the shell is cracked for some reason.

2) As for saved games, is there a way to tie games a user plays and saves to a user account file instead of to a steam profile and have smart launch know how to find it easily?

Don't know how often I thought it working this was stupid.  As for the cracking the shell its not an easy thing to do without you knowing they are doing it.  Security in smartlaunch I believe will even tell  you if the shell process gets stopped.

Smartlaunch has to run as a Windows administrator so that it can make a series of changes to protected registry entries that block access to the control panel, C drive, and etc.  Security is pretty tight by default, and with the proper physical security, network setup and a domain, it's nearly airtight.

As for Steam, yes there is. You can use a series of BAT files to accomplish this on a per-game basis inside Steam, for each user account. We (DGCS) also sell a loader that will accomplish this automatically.
