Sysinternals Freeware updates and 1 new program:

ShellRunas v1.0: ShellRunas provides functionality similar to that of the Runas tool to launch programs as a different user via a convenient shell context-menu entry. This makes it more convenient than Runas for heavy Explorer users.

Process Explorer v11.10: This Process Explorer update adds a number of enhancements, including support for high DPI, display of paging and standby list sizes on Vista, and display of cycles consumed on threads tab on Vista. It also reports the COM object running inside of Dllhost processes and the tasks running inside of Vista Taskeng host processes in the process view hover tooltip.
