ShellRunAs V1.0: add "Run as Different User" option to right-click menu

by Danny Mendez Feb 28th 2008

ShellRunAs adds a "Run as Different User" option to the right-click context menu. This allows users, who prefer a GUI interface, from having to resort to using the command-line utility Runas, which accomplishes the same thing.

The program is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista.

Aside from its practical uses, we should really think about how this software can best be used: framing pranks. Run a program (like a pr0n game) under someone else's account and then accuse them of running that program and show the records to whoever you wish to prove that they did it. Hilarious, I know, but on a more serious note, please be responsible.

Please.

How about
Shift + Right-Click
for Win2k through Windows XP

Or a simple registry edit to add the RunAs function back to Vista

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
