I run a number of programs each day using RunAs to run the program
as a domain administrator (e.g., running Active Directory Users and
Computers while logged on to my Workstation with my non-administrative
account).

On the popup window, there is the choice to run as the current user,
or "The following user:". Under the second choice, the default is
LocalMachine\Administrator, and even though there is a drop down list
arrow, that is the only choice. There is also a box with ... in it
(like a browse choice), but it is grayed out. There is no account on
the local machine called Administrator, since I have changed the name
of the administrator account to something else. Also, every time I
use RunAs, I want to run as a domain administrator.

Is there any way to either change the default to the domain
administrator account, or include the domain administrator account
in the drop down list as a choice?

Thanks for any help,
Sandy
