I am fully aware of the shift-right click command in win 2k and win xp, but he was asking about alternate programs that his admins could use to windows explorer. The command line gives you a little more options than using the shift right-click plus scripts can be made for admins to run for ease of use as well. Real men don't click!

On my Win2k box it gives you more options, including run-as...

Yes the old program manager from win 3.1 days still lives on newer versions of Windows. You could run any number of programs with this interface. The only downfall is that you need to be local admin on the box to run properly, in what I found. And trying to remember how progman works is another ; ) CH ------------------------------------------ Subject: Alternative to Windows Explorer Dear List, we are trying to work out a policy, that every admin should be logged on to his client (WinXP-SP1) with a non-administrative account (smartcard logon) and start the programs for administrative tasks with the runas - command as admistrator. That works rather good, the account cannot access our fileservers and all the other things that can be compromised by a worm or virus. There's just one problem, you can't start windows explorer with runas. We use the internet explorer (runas with the administrative account) for managing file servers, but this is rather bad (for example there is no automatic refresh). Is there an alternative to windows explorer with the same features? The few i found cannot access the network by typing UNC Paths, only with mapped drives - they are more useful for local usage.
