VI Client trys to autologon

Hi guys, wonder if anyone can help. It's only a small issue, but annoying none the less.

My company wants us to use separate admin accounts from our normal desktop logon accounts. Not got a problem with that.

The old VI client (pre version 5), allowed me to enter the server and the username in the command line using the -s and -u prompts. This resulted in a logon box, prepopulated with my server (we have more than one VC, so had more than one shortcut) and my admin account. I just entered my password and hit enter, and off I went.

Now, it seems, that as soon as I put the -u adminaccount in the shortcut, it immediately tries to logon. Sometimes it allows me to cancel, other times, it waits until it times out.

Any way I can get it to revert  to the "old" behaviour ? I can use runas as an alternative way, but I kinda liked the other method.

Thanks in advance.
