How to create a shortcut to run an application as a different user

Sometimes we need to start applications with different credencials – as different user. There is a way to create shortcut with “Run as” option.

  • Create normal shortcut.
  • Right click on icon, choose properties.
  • In target field insert runas /user:USER-NAME “C:\full\path\of\Program.exe” to be prompted for password every time
    or
  • In target field insert runas /savecred /user:USER-NAME “C:\full\path\of\Program.exe” to be asked for password only first time
