I m connected to my computer as an ordinary user, however i can log off and
connect to my computer as an administrator. Just want to know if there is any
way while i'm connected to my computer as an ordinary user, can i also log in
as an administrator aswell - have two screen open. I tried using remote
desktop but it won't allow you use the same console. You are probably asking
why would i want this but it is basically to run an application as adm that i
can't run as an ordinary user. I tried putting a shortcut to my desktop of
the application and clicking Run As but nothing happens ?

Thanks.

Please crosspost in the future - multi-posting is such a pain. =)

Have you tried RunAs on the executable instead of the shortcut? What
applications are these?

Here are two (easy) options:

1) General commandline method:
a) Using Notepad, create a file called "admin.bat" (Make sure that
you use the quotes when you save it.) containing the following
line:
@runas /user:administrator %1
b) Save it in C:\Windows\System32.
To use it to change user passwords (for example) goto Start/Run and
enter 'admin "control userpasswords2"'
If the program has options or it's name contains spaces, you need to
surround it with quotes.

2) Permanent Shortcut Change:
a) In Explorer/Start Menu/Quick Launch/whatever, right-click on the
/shortcut/ for the program you want to run as admin
b) Select 'Properties'
c) Select the 'Shortcut' tab
d) Select 'Advanced'
e) Check 'Run with different credentials'
f) Select 'OK'
g) Select 'OK'
Now, everytime you run that program, you will have to option to log
in as any user, including admin.
