In Windows 7, you sometimes have the need to open a program as the administrator to perform system level modifications. While you can right click on the program and select "Run as Administrator", another shortcut which can come in handy is Ctrl + Shift + Click (or double-click when needed) which also opens the program as the administrator.

That’s all there is to it. Definitely keep this shortcut in mind as I am sure it is something you will find useful in the future.
