Often I need to run a program in administrator mode when using Windows. There are several ways to run a program in administrator mode on Windows 7. The way I've found to be the mode efficient is to pin it to the taskbar and set that pinned shortcut to always run as administrator. When you do this, it's a 2-click process - one click to launch it and another to accept the dialog.
Here's how to do that once you've pinned the program, this example is using Visual Studio 2015 since often it needs to run in admin mode to debug against local IIS.
*If you are right-clicking an icon for an exe you will find run as admin in the Compatibility tab of the Properties dialog.
