So that's how you run explorer with runas

I can't believe it's taken me three years to find this entry from Aaron Margosis' blog about how to run Windows or Internet Explorer as admin using runas. I've always cheated by running different .cpl files until I found something that'd launch IE, then forget what it was and curse myself for not writing it down. Anyhow, this allowed me to open up C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox for modification by selected users, which in turn allows FF's auto-update feature to work without me having to wake up.

Also: Can't believe I never knew about mutt's T command. Nice.
