One of the really nice features in Windows XP is the ability to right-click on a program and select the "Run As..." option to run that program in a different security context.  But how do you do this in Windows 2000?..

Well one way of doing this is:

1. Create a shortcut of the program you want to run.
    
2. Right-click on the shortcut and select "Properties" from the context menu.
    
3. Click on the "Shortcut" tab and tick the "Run as different user" checkbox

4. Now when you double-click on the shortcut you'll see the "Run As Other User" dialog box that allows you to provide the credentials to be used to run the program.
