System Service details for 539bf3cdc523806eb435c9a5f690f2ff

Registry Key

seclogon

Display Name

Secondary Logon

Description

Enables starting processes under alternate credentials. If this service is stopped, this type of logon access will be unavailable. BlackViper.com adds this: I have never found a reason to keep this service running. I have always considered 'Alternate Credentials' someone other than me! Not my idea of fun. Really, though, it allows a 'limited user' account to start an application or process with higher privileges, such as the Administrator account or another user. You can also have a privileged user start an application or process with limited privileged account. If you right-click a file, the menu will display 'Run As' option. If you disable this service, that function will no longer be available.
