In linux you can choose to run a program as another user on the system even though you may be logged in with yourself.

Is this possible to do in Windows 2000? I know services sometimes do this.

click on the exe or program icon to highlight it, hold down the shift key and then right click on it. You will now have an option to run as. You can also use runas from the cmd prompt.
