As most experienced Windows XP users are aware, it is possible to run an application as a one user, while currently logged in as another user. This, of course, can be achieved by right clicking on the application's icon and selecting "Run As...". In the resulting dialog simply select the select the "The following user:" radio button and then select the user of choice.

A less well well know fact is that it is also possible to run the entire desktop environment as a different user without logging out and back in again.
