I have upgraded from XP pro to 7 ultimate (32bit)

If I leave UAC settings default, I have no "Run as Administrator" menu item in the contextual right-click menu onto an executable. Additionally, programs that need elevated privileges aren't unable to get them (procexp, processhacker - they also miss the re-launch as admin item in their menus)

If I turn off UAC, I am able to launch stuff as admin as the user is member in the administrators group (procexp or processhacker have the admin-specific features active - such as disk monitoring)

I blame the upgrade process (was an true upgrade with keeping settings, files etc)

Attempts like running sfc or adding registry settings made no change. The only workaround I could find so far is to type a valid executable path or name in the start menu search field, then after selecting the hilighted result, press ctrl-shift-enter, which results in launching the app with elevated privileges (with elevated prompt GUI dialog confirmation).

However, I need the GUI clic-click menu item, how do I get it back?
