if your an xp user you dont have to switch users to be administrator,
i think its in the right click menu of the file you want access to.. but you do need to no the administrators password..

Wrong.

Well, guys, I suppose only this is close to what I was looking for:

I've been searching for a long time and I didn't found anything else.
Enjoy  ;)

i know a way to get administrator. get the computer in securemode. (im not sure if it named secure mode) but if you turn off the computer and turn on and off. then you can get into a account which only open things that you need. that user is administrator!

Do you mean "Run as..."?

It looks like it might work for programs but I have not tested it.

Yes
You click Start, then Log off (the picture of keys) and then "Switch Users"
This is how you do this.

If you are having problems with this, then please confirm the following:
I have Antivirus
I have Antispyware/adware
I have a valid copy of Windows XP

You have to install the command on your machine and give the account the necessary rights. Read the helpfile of the command. There is also an example in the helpfile.
