connect-to-iimrunner.vbs

From iMacros

This example script starts the iMacros Browser via via the iimRunner.exe tool. It allows you to run the iMacros Browser (or Internet Explorer) under the user that iimRunner.exe runs under, and not the user of the calling application.

You can test this by starting iimRunner.exe as a different user using the Windows "Run As" command from the context menu. Once start, imacros.exe will run under the same user account.
