In windows XP, The "run as" box will give the option to run as different user and by default the username contain PCName/Administrator. in windows 7 the run as will just give you an empty box to fill with the username and password. Is there anyway to invoke a default username for the runas box in windows 7?

Hold down shift when you right click, more options will show up. The option you are looking for is Run as different user

Have you looked at the command line program runas. Perhaps you can make a shortcut opening the program you want and pre-filling in the user you want to use. Its not the same gui but you just need to type the password for the account in the console window and it works exactly the same. May 2, 2013 at 6:30
