IE7 no longer allows an admin instance with a limited user account

[Guest]

I am testing moving my company from IE6SP2 to IE7.

All my users are limited accounts. If I ever wanted to perform
administrative duties on their computers, I could do so by launching an IE
window with Admin credentials without having the user logout. To do that I
would get a command prompt, do runas /user:administrator cmd, then in that
window go to the IE directory and type iexplore.exe and I'd have a IE window
with admin privileges that I could do most any admin duty I needed to all
while the limited user remained logged in.

With my IE7 test machines, it seems that functionality has been disabled.
When I try to do the same thing, it spawns a new IE window with the limited
users' privileges.

Am I out of luck with my shortcut, or is there a group policy I can edit to
make IE7 act like IE6 did before?
