Is it possible to start a Windows Explorer with the rights of another domain user?
I tried to do the following to start a Windows Explorer on my computer as my domain Administrator, but without success:
Right click on C:\Windows\explorer.exe to select Run as different user,
Enter the domain administrator credentials:
Domain\Administrator
************
The windows explorer session only opens with my current user rights (Domain\me).
The reason behind my question is that I want to change some folder rights on a domain shared disk and I need the Domain\Administrator user rights to do it.
Usually, I do it by login as Domain\Administrator on the server hosting the shared disk but I would like to be able to do it from my PC, logged as my current login (Domain\me).
EDIT
As seen in the linked posts, it is not possible anymore on Windows Vista or 7.
On Windows XP, the solution is to do:
runas /user:domain\username "explorer /separate"
