So far what I have learned from Vista in the Run As command is that it runs as Administrator. How do I change that to choose credentials I want...i.e Network credentials? I am sure it is something I have overlooked.

See if there is anything here?

"As the name implies, Run As Administrator simply runs the program in question under the context of the Administrator. The functionality still exists to execute programs under the context of different user credentials, but it can only be accessed from the command line and not from the context menus".
