ShellRunas

ShellRunas, a free utility from Microsoft that integrates into the Windows context menu to launch programs as a different user. It provides similar functionality to that of the command line based RunAs utility.

The command-line Runas utility is handy for launching programs under different accounts.

ShellRunas works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
