How to Run an applications as a different user in Windows 8


Now Microsoft is ready to release the latest  version of the Windows within couple of months. Here is some tricks to get more familiar with the previous version of the Windows (i.e. Windows8).

Run the application as a different user

In Windows 7 running any application as a different user is little bit easy, only you had to do was hold down the shift key and just right-click on the applications which you want to run as the different user and then the option was there only you have to choose the ‘Run as different user’ , but in Windows 8
running any application as a different user is very difficult because the option of ‘Run as different user’ has been disabled. We can enable that option manually just by following the below steps:
Go to Start search for the ‘Run’ or hit the [Win]+[R] button  to open the ‘Run’ dialogue .
There you have to type the ‘gpedit.msc’ in the TextField and then hit Enter.
A new window will appear then there, go to the User configuration>Administrative Templates > Start menu and Taskbar.
Now select Show Run as different user command on Start and make it enable.
Again hit the [Win]+[R] to open the Run dialogue again and there you have to type the ‘gpupdate /force’ to make sure the policy takes effect.
The  option of ‘run as different user’ is enabled . Now whenever you right-click on the application you will able to see ‘Run as different user’ option.
