Subject: Alternative to Windows Explorer

Dear List,

we are trying to work out a policy, that every admin should 
be logged on to his client (WinXP-SP1) with a 
non-administrative account (smartcard logon) and start the 
programs for administrative tasks with the runas - command as 
admistrator. 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.

Best regards,
Thomas
