The "Run as different user" selection from context menus allows the use of credentials other than the currently logged on user. Using privileged credentials in a standard user session can expose those credentials to theft. Removing this option from context menus helps prevent this from occurring. Fix: Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> MS Security Guide >> "Remove "Run as Different User" from context menus" to "Enabled". This policy setting requires the installation of the SecGuide custom templates included with the STIG package. "SecGuide.admx" and "SecGuide.adml" must be copied to the WindowsPolicyDefinitions and WindowsPolicyDefinitionsen-US directories respectively.
