Original "Run As" log in?

[Guest]

How can I get Vista to do like XP where I can right click a program and
select "Run As" and have it prompt me for what ID I want to use? Currently
it just seems to assume I want to use the local Admin or user account in
Admin mode. Thanks!

I believe this option was not implemented in Vista.

If you're an administrator then this option is unavailable. If you're
not already an administrator, you'll be prompted.

That being said, I've never actually tried to login as a less privileged
user, so for all I know you can only step up, not down.

Hi Transam388,

Use the runas command in the Command Prompt. Type "runas /?" for help
in the Command Prompt.

Example

runas /user:UserAccount "c:\path\program.exe"

Hold down SHIFT while you right click (same as in XP).
