How do I run as a different user on a shortcut in Windows 7?
On Windows XP, I had the ability to mark a shortcut as being run by a different user, so that every time I ran it it would prompt me for a username/password. This let me have two shortcuts for things like SQL Server Management Studio, one for my normal account and one for my domain administrator account which has access to production servers.
I can get to the 'Run as different user' option with Shift + right-click, but I can't see an option anywhere that would let me mark the shortcut as doing this every time.
Not as good as what was in XP IMO but a perfectly acceptable workaround - thanks! – PhilPursglove – 2010-03-26T15:46:05.533
