Not that I am a WIndows lover, but you have your facts very confused. In Windows XP, when you are not logged in as Admnistrator, you simply right click an executable - either an installer or, say, administrative tools - and select the "run as" command. There you can select administrator and supply the admin. password. In other words, you don't need to log out and back in again.
