Hi Jon,

Would it be possible to add a "Run as Administrator" option when creating a pinned taskbar shortcut? I'm attaching a mockup to explain better.

Thanks for the great work!

I'm chasing this as well!

Has this been implemented yet? As a Visual Studio 2013 web developer, the lack of ability to "Run as Administrator..." basically means it's impossible to pin Visual Studio to the DF taskbar.

Ah, OK, good to know. But there's no way to set it so that the shortcut always runs as Administrator, even with a normal left-click? (i.e., like setting the "Run as Administrator" checkbox in the properties of the normal Windows taskbar shortcuts)

We have the same issue. We have Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 and we need to run it as administrator. It would be very nice to set it up to run as adminstrator in the taskbar.

This feature works great! on Windows 8.1.u1 x64 Professional. Thanks much for implementing
