I am the administrator of a network and would likt to
setup a shortcut to allow me to use USRMGR using the
Administrator ID rather than my own. I know you can use
the "RUN AS" option but am trying to automate the
process. Are there any command line opptions for USRMGR
or shortcuts that facilitate this?
 
If you make a shortcut to lusrmgr.msc and then
r-click into its properties and select the second
tab you will see that you can set it to always launch
via RunAs.
However, this leaves you needing to enter the account
and password each time.

You can examine the switches available with RunAs
runas /?
and then edit the target command of the shortcut instead
of using the second tab in the shortcuts properties.
This lets you use the /u switch, the /profile switch, and
if you are in Pro the /savecred switch.
