SharePoint Designer - Run as different user

Recently I need to run SharePoint designer as different user. 'Run as different user' option is not available on SharePoint Designer shortcut.

Follow these steps to start SharePoint Designer 2010/ SharePoint Designer 2013 as another SharePoint user

1.      Search for SPDESIGN.exe in windows explorer. you will find this under these locations based on version of SharePoint Desginer you have. 
               SharePoint Designer 2013(64bit) - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
               SharePoint Designer 2013(32bit) - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15
               SharePoint Designer 2010(32bit) - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14
2.      Press and hold the Shift key, right-click SPDESIGN.exe, and then click Run as different user.
3.      Type the credential of the user and then click OK.

Or

You could Log on to Windows by using another user account, and then run SharePoint Designer.
