ShellRunas – Launch Programs with Different Account Credentials

ShellRunas is free utility 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, but it’s not convenient if you’re a heavy Explorer user. ShellRunas provides functionality similar to that of Runas to launch programs as a different user via a convenient shell context-menu entry.

At BI Architects we are using ShellRunas a lot for logging into SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) with different credentials. If you want more information about ShellRunas or if you want to download the utility, click here
