This morning I rediscovered a shortcut for creating an elevated command prompt. Press the Windows key, type “cmd” then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Voila!
Works on Win7, Vista, and presumably on Windows Server 2008.
Thanks to Tim Sneath who also suggests making the first command be “color 4f“ so that this window is visually distinct from non-elevated command prompts.
