article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry SUMMARYThis article discusses how to disable the Run As feature on
a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based or a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer.
The Run As feature allows a user with multiple accounts to provide alternative
credentials and to run a program as a different user. For example, you can use
the Run As feature to start a program as an administrator if you want to
perform administrative tasks when you are logged on as a member of another
group, such as the Users or the Power Users group. To use the Run As feature on
a Windows Server 2003-based or a Windows XP-based computer, hold the SHIFT key
down and right-click a program, MMC console, or Control Panel tool, and then
type the credentials of a user other than the user who is currently logged on.
