Both Vista And Server 2008 emphasize on using "Run As..." option to provide a more secure environment. For those that are interested in using the command-line it might be annoying to right click on each application that they want to "Run as Administrator" especially for developers. Here is the sequence to get the applications "Run as Administrator" (I used to create a shortcut for the application and in the "Advanced" options of the shortcut properties check the "Run As Administrator") Press Windows button, in the immediate text box that appears type the name of the application that you want to run e.g. cmd, then instead of pressing Enter, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter which might ask you to provide user-name password but then you can save it. Do not overuse this option, things like internet explorer (iexplore) don't need to be run as an admin.
