Run as administrator from Win+R by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter
Many users like the classic Win+R for running command-line programs, but it lacks the ability to run programs with administrative privileges by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter. This dialog is created by the explorer.exe and the 7TT can change this behaviour.

I use the Windows button in these cases, I type the command, then I press ctrl enter.
How do you do that?
I've tried but can't get it opened in administrative mode.
Try holding Ctrl and Shift. See:

It works nice! Thanks very much!
