If you are a command line junkie like me, and have been testing out
Windows 7 or Vista… one of the first things you’ll notice is that there
is no way to run a command from the run box in “Administrator” mode.
Until now.
To try this out, go to the run box and type in something (cmd, for example)
Now instead of hitting the Enter key, use Ctrl+Shift + Enter. You will be prompted with the obnoxious User Account Control dialog… but it will then open up a command prompt in Administrator mode.
Hint: You can use Alt + C to quickly close the User Account Control dialog in Vista, or Alt+Y in Windows 7.
