It is really frustrating when you need UAC to run one command. You are doing you stuff and you have to launch a new console (cmd or PowerShell) run one command, close it (or not) and start working again.
In Linux you have one magic word: sudo and you do not have to think about it. Of course we can disable UAC, but it is not recommended :)
But on Friday at least I found a magic sudo command for windows. Simple, plain PowerShell script, just to put in $PROFILE in PowerShell
function sudo
{
$file, [string]$arguments = $args;
$psi = new-object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo $file;
$psi.Arguments = $arguments;
$psi.Verb = "runas";
$psi.WorkingDirectory = get-location;
[System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($psi);
}
Now we can run everything in PowerShell with sudo command arg1 arg2 argX. Hurray :)
