Shift-Rclick on an executable, there should be an option in the menu that says "Run As..." click on that to get a Run As screen asking for an Administrator password (you can change that) in later versions of WXP it appears without having to shift. In early versions of W2k it does not appear even if you shift. -- Munir Nassar
