| | Regular Run As... option (not Run As Administrator) I have Vista Business. When I shift+Righ Click an item, I can see the Run As... option, but when I click on it, UAC asks for my consent, but I do not get the prompt to enter the user credentials to actually Run the program as. ("Run As..." is different from "Run As Administrator"). I need to run some things not just as a local machine administrator rights, but as a totally different user (for instance if I had to run certain programs as a different AD account). How can I get back the regular Run As... command back so that it will prompt me what account to use? |

| | RE: Regular Run As... option (not Run As Administrator) Looks like Microsoft removed the "Run as..." option without asking us. There is still however the command line alternative "runas". I guess you could create a script that would start a program as a different user and create an icon pointing to it. "slimbim" wrote: > I have Vista Business.
