"Run As" altenrate user but saving data to my own profile

Gurus,

Running Windows XP Pro SP3. I run my computer as a limited
(non-administrator). There is one program I need to launch as an
administrator, and I certainly know how to right-click and select "Run As"
and input administrative credentials. But what happens is if I save data
under that program it goes to the Administror's My Documents and not to my
own. So I need to figure out how to use "Run As" but send data to my
profile. This would apply to Windows Server 2003 as well I guess.

The usual method consists of using the "Save as" function which allows you
to specify the target file+folder name.
