Run As... is back in Vista!

  • Article

Yes, this dearly missed shell context menu item is now available again in Windows Vista, thanks to Mark Russinovich. This little new utility is a new addition to Sysinternals toolset and can be downloaded here. Just run ShellRunAs /reg to register context menu for Shell "Run as different user". This menu will then be available in Start menu items as well as Windows Explorer right clicks :).

    In addition to RunAs -- there's also a similar program "ShellRunAs" (more for heavy users) from SysInternals http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc300361.aspx Blake Handler Microsoft MVP "The Road to Know Where"

    Does not work for me in Vista Business. Right-click a shortcut for command prompt or right-click cmd.exe directly and get this error dialog "Error launching application: The system cannot find the file specified." I think it needs a little work. Please help.
