So with the introduction of IE7, my little hack no longer worked, which was having the following shortcut: runas.exe \/u:administrator \"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\"<\/code><\/p>\n

With the IE7 update, when I enter C:\\ into the location bar, it actually opens up a new Explorer window, running as my current user. Before it would automatically open C: drive in the same IE window and let me browse as administrator.<\/p>\n

With this block, I decided to see if I could get explorer.exe to launch instead of going through iexplore.exe. Running explorer.exe from an administrator command prompt didn’t do anything. I was able to run start .<\/code> and get an Explorer window opened, but that was running under me again. I search for explorer.exe switches and found this site: Command-Line Switches for Windows Explorer<\/a>, however none of those switches seem to work. Calling explorer.exe \/?<\/code> returned immediately without displaying any kind of help.<\/p>\n

Finally, I just went and searched for “how to launch explorer as another user<\/em>” and found this: How do run Explorer as another user<\/a> which had a very useful reply<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the switch you have to pass in is \/separate<\/strong>. At first I thought it was just a fake, but then realized I was spelling sepe<\/strong>rate incorrectly. If you execute the following command: runas.exe \/u:administrator \"explorer.exe \/separate\"<\/code>, you’ll be able to start explorer.exe as another user.<\/p>\n

Random Crap<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Today’s Japanese phrase is \u96ea (yuki) which translates to snow, since we’ve recently had a bunch of snow, but due to today’s warm weather, it’s pretty much gone. Guess I won’t be needing wheel chains anymore. Along with snow, there’s \u51ac\u4f11\u307f (fuyuyasumi) or Winter Vacation. \u51ac (fuyu) is Winter and \u4f11\u307f (yasumi) means to rest by itself, but when stuck to onto another noun like one of the 4 seasons, it means vacation. The other seasons are \u6625 (haru) – Spring; \u590f (natsu) – Summer; \u79cb (aki) – Autumn.<\/p>\n

\"fire
\nThe sending of false fire alarms by mischievous persons may be eliminated through use of a newly developed call box. To use the device, the sender of an alarm must pass a hand through a special compartment to reach the signal dial. Once the dial has been turned, the sender’s hand is locked in the compartment until released by a fireman or policeman with a key.<\/em> (from Modern Mechanix<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Haha! What if it was a real fire and the you got trapped right next to it. ;p<\/p>\n
