How to run a program as another user?

In XP, if I have 2 Account users e.g. A and B, when I right click the Icon;
I can choose run as A or B.
But in Vista, when I right click the Icon, it shows "Run as Administrator"
only.
Does any1 know how to Run as B when I am logging in A?

thx

The 'runas' command is still available

runas /env /user:B "notepad.exe"
