This causes the application to load more quickly, but can cause some applications to malfunction. .Parameter env To use current environment instead of user's. .Parameter netonly Use if the credentials specified are for remote access only. .Parameter user Username should be in form user@domain or domain\user. .Parameter program Command line for EXE.
