Q:

Open Windows 7's Network Connections control panel applet as different user

I'm trying to change network settings without constantly switching to my admin account (which is not Administrator).  I have a weird corporate admin account - local-timmmm. 
Usually to install apps and so on, I have to shift-right-click them, select Run as different user and run them as local-timmmm.  Run as Administrator does not work. 
Ok so on to the question, how can I access the "Network Connections" control panel applet as local-timmmm without switching account?  These are some of the things that I've tried that do not work:

Start a cmd.exe as local-timmmm and run ncpa.cpl.  It runs, but says I have no permission still. 
Browse to c:\Windows\System32\ncpa.cpl, shift-right-click it.  There is a Run as Administrator option but no Run as different user. 
Using mmc.exe - this works for the Device Manager, but there doesn't seem to be any way to access any other control panel things from it. 
Running explorer as local-timmmm and browsing to the Network Connections page.  Still no permissions. 

I'm starting to suspect this is impossible. 

A:

You can start a program with another user using "runas".  Bear in mind that it expects an executable (that's why the control.exe is mentioned explicitly).   

runas /user:username "control ncpa.cpl"
