Get a command prompt with administrator privileges from explorer

While I was looking to install Dig on my Windows 7 machine. I stumbled on a dead simple but very useful piece of code that I thought I would share with you. It just allows you to open a command prompt as an administrator on any folder by doing a right mouse click on this folder.

1. Download CmdHereAsAdmin.inf
2. Right click on the file and choose "Install"
3. You're all set!

You can now right click on any folder an launch an CMD prompt with administrator privileges directly from the explorer. Quick & easy!
