Run as administrator start menu keyboard trick

If you are like me and use the search box in the new Start Menu in Windows Vista as a run box, you can run any command you type in as an administrator by holding down CTRL + Shift and then pressing Enter.

Say you want to start command prompt as administrator:

   1. Click start button

   2. Key in cmd

   3. Press and hold down CTRL and Shift and then hit Enter

   4. Command prompt now be run as administrator
