Sorry everyone, i messed up the previous example, here it is corrected and my opensim directory is on my C: drive, if you have your opensim directory on another drive/folder structure then amend the path in the last set of quotes:
%windir%\system32\runas.exe /user:DOMAIN\account /savecred "C:\opensim\opensim.exe"
if you are using a PC that not part of a domain and is just a pc on a local network you can use:
%windir%\system32\runas.exe /user:PCNAME\ACCOUNT /savecred "C:\opensim\opensim.exe"
or
%windir%\system32\runas.exe /user:PCNAME\ACCOUNT /savecred "path to opensim.exe"
The "/savecred" section will remember the password on the account if you have one which will save you from having to enter it each time you run the shortcut.
If someone could confirm that this works for them that would be great
Regards
James

As promised, here is the target path to use in you windows shortcut:
%windir%\system32\runas.exe /user:DOMAIN\account /savecred "C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe"
if you are using a PC that not part of a domain and is just a pc on a local network you can use:
%windir%\system32\runas.exe /user:PCNAME\ACCOUNT /savecred "C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe"
