One thing that makes RunAs work better in some cases is to give it the
switch to load the profile of that user, much the same as su -l. There are
also potential issues with running applications with different user
contexts on the same desktop, as they could be built to interact with one
another.
If you really want to completely change contexts, and have everything work,
then install Terminal Server in administration mode. You can then start a
TS session back to yourself. This isn't an option on a workstation,
though. I use TS quite a bit to do things over a dial-up, and am happy
with the response even over a modem.
