RUN AS feature not available

In Windows XP I used to be able to run a program in windows mode and run it
as one of my user accounts I had set up. In other words I had 4 user accounts
and I was able to run my multiple subscription game under each user account
at the same time in windows mode. Does anyone know how to do this with Vista
since the only option it gives me is to run as administrator. When I do that
the game shuts down. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello,

You can use the runas command-line tool to accomplish this.

runas /user:USERNAME path_to_program

Hi, but it is complicated if we need to runas an mmc snap-in for example like we need to runas with domain admin account on WSUS 3.0 snapin. Any faster way rather than command line? This is a good feature i would say... not sure why they remove from vista?
