I have been searching for a way to use "su" on my Win2K machine... from the 
reading I've done in this group the easiest way is to run ssh and log in as 
Administrator.  An excellent solution, and one that works for me.  I am curious 
as to how I might launch a Windows application from my root ssh command line to 
display within my non-priveleged-user Win2K login session.

I guess I'm looking for the Windows equivilant of the X environment commands:

unixhost% xhost +Administrator
unixhost% setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0

so that if I wanted to run, say, the Event Viewer as root it would display it 
within my current logon session.

thanks

dave
