Shift + Right click on Sage 200c to be able to login as another Windows User

In versions 2015 and 2016 it is possible to right click on the Sage 200 icon and choose "Run as different user" & you can then type in a user's windows credentials. This allows you to log into Sage 200 as a different user to who you are logged into Windows as. This is a really useful option when testing on Support when trying to determine if the issue reported is a Windows, Sage User or PC specific issue. This appears to have been removed in Sage 200c so please can this be added back in?

    If you use the portable client, you can also do it this way as well.

    This is due to us now using ClickOnce, you don’t get all options for a ClickOnce icon. You are able to locate the program executable in the client install folder and run that as another user. If you follow this article, when you get to step 6 in the resolution you can Shift + Right click on the desktop exe and get the options they used to get.
