I know I'm not going to teach you a new trick, but you should
realise what I'm saying:

- Log on as a domain user (not admin).
- Do a runas to run cmd.exe and enter domain admin/password.
- Leave cmd running all day.
- In any window other than the above cmd you are a user.
- In the cmd window you are a domain admin.

Later, say you need to reset someone's password. Click on the cmd window
and enter dsa.msc (or mmc.exe then add the Active Directory Users and
Computers (ADUC) snap-in).

You are NOT prompted for a password, but now you are running ADUC as a
domain admin. Same applies to pretty well all admin tools.
