    I am fully aware of the shift-right click command in win 2k and win xp, but
    he was asking about alternate programs that his admins could use to windows
    explorer. The command line gives you a little more options than using the
    shift right-click plus scripts can be made for admins to run for ease of use
    as well. Real men don't click! LOL

    Have you tried doing shift-right click? On my Win2k box it gives you more
    options, including run-as...

    Thomas,

    You could also try a command line runas to progman.exe. Yes the old program
    manager from win 3.1 days still lives on newer versions of Windows. You
    could run any number of programs with this interface. The only downfall is
    that you need to be local admin on the box to run properly, in what I found.
    And trying to remember how progman works is another

    ; )

    Subject: Alternative to Windows Explorer

    Dear List,

    we are trying to work out a policy, that every admin should be logged on to
    his client (WinXP-SP1) with a non-administrative account (smartcard logon)
    and start the programs for administrative tasks with the runas - command as
    admistrator. That works rather good, the account cannot access our
    fileservers and all the other things that can be compromised by a worm or
    virus. There's just one problem, you can't start windows explorer with
    runas. We use the internet explorer (runas with the administrative account)
    for managing file servers, but this is rather bad (for example there is no
    automatic refresh). Is there an alternative to windows explorer with the
    same features? The few i found cannot access the network by typing UNC
    Paths, only with mapped drives - they are more useful for local usage.

    Best regards,
    Thomas
