Run an elevated command prompt in Vista

Filed under: UAC, Vista — scott @ 8:53 pm

I often want to open an admin-level command prompt, like a “sudo” in linux, and it’s a distraction to have to move my hands off the keyboard to go through the elevation contortions. So I was stoked to find a keyboard shortcut for launching an elevated process. Simply press Ctrl+Shift+Enter from the search bar on the start menu with a selected application, and that triggers elevation. For example, to launch an elevated command prompt, simply press the Win key; type cmd; press Ctrl+Shift+Enter; and then hit Alt+C to confirm the elevation prompt.
