Run a Command as Administrator on Windows

I didn't know this but since I'm a Linux guy, I'm not ashamed.
On windows, if you log in as a user with administrator privileges but want to run a command shell with administrator's rights, you still need to run it in a special way:
  1. Go to the start bar search box
  2. Type cmd
  3. Right-click on cmd.exe and choose "Run as administrator"
Thanks to Olav.
