Restart this application under different credentials.

...is an option that appears when I launch Visual Studio 2012 by way of double-clicking an .sln file in C:\inetpub\wwwroot where I will need administrative privileges to resave Web.config. If I click this option, I get the administrative privileges. This is happening in a Windows 8 environment where the "Run as administrator" trick is not available from right-clicking on a desktop icon and one has to go out to the Metro interface to find it. I guess this is a convenience hack that compensates for this dumbness. I wonder if there is a way to unlock "Run as administrator" at the desktop. Whatever.

I remember hating you for loving me, riding on the Metro...
