ExplorerXP is a very fast, small and compact FREEWARE which works great with RunAs (RunAs comes by default with WinXP & Vista). It can be used to perform any privileged tasks (add/remove programs, registry edit, etc) as admin user.

FYI: You can’t use Windows Explorer with RunAs as it does not start multiple instance without this registry hack.

Cheers,
