Quick Tip: Windows key combination to launch a program from the start menu with adminitrator rights.

Scenario
You need to start a program from the start menu with adminitrator rights. You already know how to do it the long way, by right-clicking and drilling into the properties for the shortcut, but you wish there was a faster way.

How
Open the start menu and type the name of the program just as if you were starting it normally.

Hold down control+shift when you hit enter.


Yay, now the program launches with adminitrator rights!
