Perhaps I missed something, but why not just make a batch file called "su"?
Or just use "login supervisor"?

The only bummer is if you "logout" of the switched too user's account, you
will not go back to the old user, but rather be logged out of the server.

Contents of my "su.bat":

@echo off
if "%1" == "" goto super 
n:login %1 
goto done
:super
n:login supervisor 
:done
exit


When I'm logined in as a user and what to "su" to supervisor, type "su"  
Just supply the password!

If I'm logged in as supervisor and want to go back, type "su user" and
supply a password.
