Run as different user – Windows Server 2008 R2

I didn’t realise but as part of the upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 Microsoft removed the ability to run as different user as a context action. You can still do it from the command line using the command “runas” but on the whole that’s not very useful.
Fortunately Microsoft Sysinternals have a very useful too called ShellRunas.
It can be found here

  1. By holding the SHIFT key, Right click on the application or the Shortcut, you should see the "Run as" menu item
