Compare 6 can not be used in 'Run As' mode -

• 
  Hi there,
  
  Sorry about the problems you are experiencing.
  
  Which OS are you using?
  
  I have had a quick look into this on Vista and XP, whilst XP appears to be fine and authenticating correctly, Vista does appear to be ignoring the Run As command. So it looks like there is an issue there somewhere.
  
  Regards,

  Using XP sp2
  
  I still have v5.3 installed and this still allows 'Run As' so I don't think its the op system, may be the way it was installed?, although I have admin rights to the pc

  The only difference I can see between v5.3 and v6 on XP in Run As behaviour is that the "Run As..." right click context menu option does not get displayed by default on v6. You have to hold shift down and right click, rather than just right clicking.
  
  Is the problem that you cannot see the Run As menu option for v6 or that it isn't authenticating correctly?
  
  Regards,

  Hi guys,
  
  I had logged this as an issue late last week. I think it has to do with the type of shortcut (.lnk) file in the setup, which seems to enforce the old Windows 2000 behaviour for shortcut icons.
  
  You can get to the RunAs and other right-click context menu items by using shift+right-click.

  That I cannot see the option and if you right click on the menu item, then, properties, then shortcut tab, advanced button , the 'Run with different Credentials' is greyed out.
  
  The shift down and right click still brings up the 'run as'

  Cheers Brian,
  
  I will have a word with the installer developers and see what we can do about getting proper links.
