Running an application as a different user without logging off and on:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back
in again. Right click the icon, select Run As... and enter the user
name and password you want to use. This only applies for that run. The
trick is particularly useful if you need to have administrative
permissions to install a program, which many require. Note that you
can have some fun by running programs multiple times on the same
system as different users, but this can have unforeseen effects.
