In windows 7 you can start applications as admin by searching in the start menu and then pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
Is a similar shortcut available for the Run Window (Win+R)?

The same command worked for me – Ramhound Mar 20 '14 at 09:49

This question has been asked before in 2010.
Unfortunately the result "no possible short-cut" applies even today. Run cannot elevate programs to admin level. It can only elevate the cmd via:
runas /user:admin "cmd"
The workaround is to manually set the program(s) to run as admin through the properties menu.

Yes it does, in the search charm menu, type in a program e.g 'snip' and then press CTRL+ALT+ENTER – PathToLife Mar 20 '14 at 10:14

1In that case, you can maybe mark as duplicate? I didn't find one earlier, but the absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence ;) – Boris Callens Mar 20 '14 at 10:26

@BorisCallens Second that. I would look around for a program solution every so often. – PathToLife Mar 20 '14 at 10:35

@Ramhound Boris is talking about the run menu not the charm bar.. you know WINKEY+R? I stand correct in my solution. – PathToLife Mar 20 '14 at 10:35
