I want to send messages withing a windows 7 LAN using VB.NET code. The problem is that the msg.exe executes commands in admin mode only. Here is the code.

Shell("cmd.exe /k runas /user:farook-pc\administrator msg.exe") 'Here i'm prompted for a password.

Shell("cmd.exe /k msg.exe", 1)

I use the /k switch to see what's going on in the shell. /c is the silent switch. I do not wish to use runas neither do I wish to change privilages in msg.exe
