With Win2k and XP holding shift and right click
brings up a menu with the 'Run As' option.
Sort of like doing: sudo make install
It prompts you to choose any username/password.

It works fine most of the time.  The problem
that I've run into doing that is with programs
that also require being run as an admin after
installation.  I'm not a windows guru and
find it a PITA to figure out what files and
policies to change to allow the prog to run
by a 'power user.'

That is _SO_ the truth.
