AFAIK, that is system behavior by design. That was an old workaround in NT
4 where you would, if you were only logged into the local system as a
regular user, map a drive letter to a remote file server as an admin on that
file server to get full administrative access on it. It then changes the
context to admin of all subsequent net connections to that file server until
the connection is cleanly broken or user logs off. MS recognized this an
introduced "Run As" later on. I don't think this can be changed.
