I am logged onto pc1 with an account that does not have permissions to a share on the server computer. How can I access that share using runas command without logging off? It?s a data folder and not an application I am trying to access. Simple plain data folder that only admins have permissions to access. If only applications can be run under runas, is there any other way of accessing network shares under different account without having to logoff and use another account?

but might not be the handiest.

try using the net use command to map the drive
for example:
net use z: \\servername\sharename password /user:domain\user

If you go in to "My Computer" select tools and map network drive. In the pop up box that comes up you can click "Connect using a different user name" and provide your credentials when mapping the drive. Hope that helps.
