Hi Vladmir2989,

Default shortcut for run as different user is Shift + Right click. That would be available regarding most of the programs on the Context menu (Right click menu).

Besides, we could build shortcuts to run as different user account with the Runas command, for sepcial applications.

Please note: Since this website is not hosted by Microsoft, the information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Further, there is a Sysinternals tool called Shellrunas, which is a simply shortcut, what we need to do is to drag application on this special program (we may put the shellrunas.exe file on the desktop), and then it would inform to run the application to run as different user account.

For special keyboard shortcut, currently I have no idea how to deal with that.

Hope the information above is helpful enough.

Regards

hii,

According to my knowledge there is no such direct keyboard shortcut available to run program as different user. To Run program as different user simply click shift+F10 on selected program or file then choose "Run as different user"

Thanks and Regards
