Ctrl+Shift-Click Programs To Launch Them As Administrator

hold ctrl + shift and click for admin mode

When using Windows 7 you might run into occasions where you need to run a program with administrator rights.  For system administrators this happens quite often and it can get really annoying having to Right-Click a program all the time to Run as administrator. The other solution could be to Always Run the program with administrator privileges, but that can pose obvious security risks!

The solution?  Shortcut keys!  Just Hold Shift+Ctrl and then Click the program shortcut or executable and it will load up in administrator mode just like that!

No more Right-Clicking and context menu surfing! A very groovy trick!

no need to right click and run as administrator
