Description:
The run as feature allows the presently logged in user 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 local user. To use the run as feature hold the shift key down and right-click an executable file, shortcut, mmc console, or control panel tool, and then select the user name from the droop-down list. To turn-off this feature, apply the following registry setting. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If the subkey \explorer does not exist, create it as explained below. Then, create a dword value hiderunasverb in the right panel. Now, right-click and modify its value to 1 which can turn-off the run as option. However, if you want to get back to the original state, change the value to 0. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
