Advanced Run: Run programs as another user without logging off
Advanced Run is a utility that replaces the Windows Run dialog with an advanced version. But it has one feature up its sleeve that you won't find in the Windows run box: the ability to run any program as another user without logging out and logging back in as that user.
You can launch Advanced Run by clicking Run in the Windows Start Menu, hitting the Win+R keys on your keyboard, or startng a new task from Windows task manager. You can also right-click on any program and select Run As to run the program as another user.
Advanced Run works with Windows XP and Vista, but will not work with 64 bit versions of Windows.

In a corporate environment where you don't want to install extra software such as this, a simple:
runas /env /user:username@domain cmd.exe
Will do exactly the same thing from command line.
I don't think I see the point in this, except if your a home user without much knowledge.

Sudo for Windows (sudowin) allows authorized users to launch processes with elevated privileges using their own passphrase. Unlike the runas command, Sudo for Windows preserves the user's profile and ownership of created objects.

Is that similar to MakeMeAdmin? That tool has been a lifesaver for a long time!

Unlike SudoWin Advanced Run allows you to run any command line (also using ShellVerbs, its a unique feature) as any user and it is not necessary to be an admin. So, you can be a Guest and run notepad as admin. And I think it is quite easier to press Win+R and type "cmd.exe" than open console and type "runas /env /user:username@domain cmd.exe".
