    For adding "Run as different user" to right-click content menu, just run the following reg file:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runasuser]
    "Extended"=-
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\runasuser]
    "Extended"=-
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\runasuser]
    "Extended"=-
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mscfile\shell\runasuser]
    "Extended"=-
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\shell\runasuser]
    "Extended"=-
    
    Without this registry import, you have to hold the <SHIFT> key before doing mouse right-click to invoke the content menu it this option.
