I'm running my IE under different user credentials using RunAs. But then the
tip won't add any text into the addressbar. When I click "Insert" it just
beeps. Also the context textbuttons (like www.) are not available.
When I start the IE normally everything works as expected.
Any ideas?

Why are you running it in that manner? Just use it normally, and you won't
have the issue.

Maybe so anything triggered by IE, such as an activex control, or a popup, will
run with a restricted user's rights? Maybe his actual login has higher privileges
that he doesn't want IE to run under?

I've got to go with Callahan on this one.
If they teach "Run As" in the official Microsoft support classes
(and having completed one yesterday, I can assure you they do),
then it must be something that should be fully supported. It
does save some time on the job!

The big question is: does it happen for anyone else?
I decided to answer it, myself.

I created a normal user account (I run with admin privileges,
myself).
Both logins demonstrated problems using IE after executing as the
other user. It seems that using the "pointing inserts text"
setting allows the focus to be removed from IE somehow.
In other words, logged in as myself, and running IE as my test
user, when I tried to input in the address bar, the TIP would put
my text into this message, which was the last window I'd had
focus on before running IE. I suspect that the OP had no other
input-receiving windows open, and that meant TIP switched focus
to when input was not allowed (which would explain the beep).
When I changed HWR input to make me tap to insert, I didn't have
this problem.

Hasn't something like this been discussed before? I'm getting
deja vu.

Right! to browse the web you don't need much rights. To add some security I
use this "Low-Rights" user. So anything running inside or started by the IE
(scripts or ActiveX controls) also have restricted rights. So they can't
access my files /documents nor can they access my email addressbook. And Run
As is perfect for this.

l did the same thing with different TIP setting but have the same behavior.
The text will be inserted into the input receiving control of that user TIP
is running under.
So it doesn't have to do with the TIP settings.
My settings for the TIP are:
-Show next to text
-tapping the icon opens the panel
-tapping insert inserts text
-use Gestures

> Both logins demonstrated problems using IE after executing as the

If not using the Tip I don't experience any problems. Everything works as
normal. Keyboard input works fine. It is just the TIP that behaves odd.


TabTip.exe & TCServer.exe are normal processes and running under the
account I login with ,not the restricted one.
Maybe this is the problem.
but can it be solved? don't think you can start them more than one time, do
you?

That is probably the correct action - they only run one instance, and the
RunAs account doesn't have access to them because your logon account already
has them.

tabtip.exe and tcserver.exe run under the user account, so when you use run
as, the other account does not have access to the ink. you will have to "run
as" in the two ink exe's for it to work I believe.

I tried to run the two processes under the same user but it doesn't help at
all.
if you have two tabtips running the TIP goes completely nuts. It is
flashing and seems to be toggling between the two instances. Also both of
them have about 50% of CPU load.
Maybe this is something that slipped through testing. Using RunAs is a
recommend technique for admins. they will have this issue also, when
performing administrative tasks on a tablet pc.

Let me play with it, but I think you'll have to kill the processes first,
let me modify a "bat file" to see if we can make it work...

You'll need a keyboard for this to work, but this works, use the code
between the __ and save it as a .bat
__

REM - First, kill processes
taskkill -im tabtip.exe /F
taskkill -im tcserver.exe /F

REM - switch to directory containing Ink executables
c:
cd "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Ink\"

REM - Startup the processes -
REM - tcserver.exe will be called automatically by tabtip.exe
runas /user:(machine name\admin account name) "tabtip.exe"

__

in the "(machine name\admin account name)" enter as an example:
mymachinename\administrator

then you'll be prompted for a password at the command line, this is why you
need the keyboard...
