Assigning a keyboard shortcut to open an application with administrative privileges in windows 7.

Question

I know how to assign a keyboard shortcut to an application by

• Right click on the application and take properties.

• Under "Shortcut key", assign the shortcut pressing the key combination.

But how can I open the same application with the shortcut key combination with administrator privileges?

Answer 1

You can use AHK (AutoHotkey) and make a script that does this

This will open Itunes if you do Windows + Alt + P

#!P::
    Run "C:\Program Files\itunes\iTunes.exe"
    Return
