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
