Default Multiple browsers in separate security contexts, launch incorrectl

Hi,

first up, I'm not entirely sure if this is the right forum, as this may be
an IE thing, rather than a Win7 thing and it may not be specifically be
around security. But anyway, here's what I'm seeing.

I've recently started testing our corporate Win7 build and my day-to-day
account is low privledged. My main apps, Outlook 2007sp2, Word 2007sp2, IE8,
etc, spend all day running under this account. However sometimes I need to
access restricted content, which requires me to run, in this case IE8, under
a high privledge account (I have a separate account which is derived from
Domain Admin), so I use RunAs with IE8 and use my high priv account.

The catch is, that often when I click URL links in Outlook (under my low
priv account), the high priv IE8 is the one that launches into the foreground.

Mostly this isn't a problem, but for our internal systems that use
Integrated or NTLM, I'm authenticating with my high priv account, which isn't
what I want.

I haven't tried this with other apps, as IE is the main one that is launched
this way and is one of the few apps that I run in a different security
context.

Has anyone else seen this?

Is there anything I can do to stop it happening?

Thanks
Craig
