    My wife and I both use Apple's cloud to hold our photos taken with each of our iPhones. In order to have these photos downloaded into one folder on my PC from the cloud, I have to have 2 icloud.exe files running at the same time. To do this, I created a 2nd user on my PC, then direct the computer to run a few icloud files as the 2nd account. This needs to be done each time the PC is booted up, so I made a simple batch file utilizing the "runas" command. The problem is that it prompts me for the password each time. I've searched and found no work around for this other than 3rd party software. Does anyone know a solutions that doesn't need any additional software?

    I just put the batch file in my start folder. I don't have a problem with it running, I just don't want to type in the password each time.
