Can "RUNAS" specify the password?

I have a situation where an application (PageMaker 6.5) is installed locally
on a workstation. The user I am setting up will be doing a domain logon. The
app will only load if the user logs on locally as an administrator. We do
not want this for security reasons.

I've found that if I load it using the "RUNAS" command, it will work.
However, this causes a command prompt window to come up that prompts for the
local userid (I created one). Can I set up a shortcut/batch file that will
provide the password? Obviously, I need to address the security issue, but
first things first. The userid/password for the local admin account is the
same as the domain account....
