Thomas, If you are specifying a UNC path, then you can map a drive. Use the 'Connect As' option to gain administrative rights over the network shares. Likewise, a batch file with the appropriate "Net Use" commands will do the trick, as you may specify the login credentials here as well.

That works rather good, the account cannot access our fileservers and all the other things that can be compromised by a worm or virus. There's just one problem, you can't start windows explorer with runas. We use the internet explorer (runas with the administrative account) for managing file servers, but this is rather bad (for example there is no automatic refresh). Is there an alternative to windows explorer with the same features? The few i found cannot access the network by typing UNC Paths, only with mapped drives - they are more useful for local usage.
