run as vista

Before when I did right click on any program in start menu (I mean in XP) I had a choice there "Run as..." and I could run it as other user. In VISTA there is only "Run as Administrator", which is not enough for me. I do not mean that I use it so often, but I did once a while... I miss to have option Run as other user.
Is this "Run as..." going to be back in next version of VISTA?
Thanks.

Hello,
I'm not sure if run as will be making an appearance later, I couldn't find any information about it.
However, you can still use the runas command from the command prompt (granted, it's alot more work, but it does work).
The simple syntax is:
runas /user:USERNAME "command"
example:
runas /user:Jimmy "control.exe"
Which would then prompt for my password, then if the password was correct, run the command line.
There's some more advanced options available with this command as well.

thankyou!
I did not know about this option, so at least something. I do not mind command lines (i am using it not so ofrten, so it is ok).

Hi,
I just tried this and in VISTA trying to run iexplore as other user, it says: runas not supported by IE...
Any suggestion how to run IE as other user?

That's strange ...
I couldn't find any information as to why they are blocking it. I tried a few things as a workaround but the dang thing is smart ... lol ... I will see if I can find out.

Hm,
I am 100% sure you are wrong, because I use this in Win XP...
