I finally found this information today on how to run Explorer as a user other than the one logged on. Very handy for administrators who don't like to log on with their full rights accounts. Hope someone out there finds this a useful as I do... :)

I know this is an old thread, but in case someone else like me comes along later via search engine...
If you're running IE7 under WinXP, in order to run Windows Explorer with the runas command, it must be run as a separate process. A quick way to do this, without having to change your Folder Options settings, would be to run an instance of Explorer with the undocumented parameter /separate, like this:
runas /user:domain\username "explorer /separate"
...where domain is the domain name or local computer name of which username is a member.
Hope this helps.
