Run As... is back in Vista!

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

Unfortunately, ShellRunAs is not perfect.  If the shortcut you right-click on includes command-line arguments, ShellRunAs does *not* pass them through when it launches the program under the alternate login.
