| | Original "Run As" log in? 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! |

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. -- If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"? |

Type "runas /?" for help in the Command Prompt. Example runas /user:UserAccount "c:\path\program.exe" -- William Crawford MS-MVP Windows Shell/User |
