Default Regular Run As... option (not Run As Administrator)

I have Vista Business. When I shift+Righ Click an item, I can see the Run
As... option, but when I click on it, UAC asks for my consent, but I do not
get the prompt to enter the user credentials to actually Run the program as.
("Run As..." is different from "Run As Administrator"). I need to run some
things not just as a local machine administrator rights, but as a totally
different user (for instance if I had to run certain programs as a different
AD account).

How can I get back the regular Run As... command back so that it will prompt
me what account to use?

Default RE: Regular Run As... option (not Run As Administrator)

Looks like Microsoft removed the "Run as..." option without asking us. There
is still however the command line alternative "runas". I guess you could
create a script that would start a program as a different user and create an
icon pointing to it.
