Run as for MSI-files

I am hitting them as I go along - here is another tip that is very useful.

A .MSI-file cannot be executed under another account then the one you're running with. There is no "Run as..." in the right-click menu for .MSI-file, in other words.

Here is the solution for Vista which works very good on XP also (I've tried). It is a reg-file that simply adds the "Run as ..."-feature when right clicking .MSI-files
