Hi
On the Taskbar, right click the programs icon.
In the menu, right click the Programs Name and select the Run as Administrator option.
This will open an elevated instance of the program.

Thanks phailyoor for the hint on always running as administrator. Seriously Microsoft, launching a context menu by right-clicking on a context menu is NOT intuitive!
a simple shift-right-click in the taskbar gets "run as administrator" for most apps (no Control key needed)
but, none of these methods work for Windows Explorer.
to run as administrator for Windows Explorer:
This will work for any app.
This is quicker than other methods, because in one click, you get the admin password window-- you don't have to click "run as administrator".a simple shift-right-click in the taskbar gets "run as administrator" for most apps (no Control key needed)

maybe it makes sense to you developers from Microsoft, it doesn't make ant sense to me...
Another option, which will give you full-time administrator access to everything (assuming you're logged in with an account in the Administrators group), though you will lose the ability to run Metro/Modern apps (which I consider a bonus):
You can choose to fully and completely disable UAC by altering the EnableLUA registry value:
Of course you'll have to reboot after. And I reiterate, after doing the above you will NOT be able to run Metro/Modern apps. Therefore this is a "desktop-only" type configuration.
Also, I'd suggest reviewing your security practices and policies if you make this change, because the system will not block attempts to do privileged things by applications (e.g., malware) that you may run.
In fact, even if you don't make this change, I suggest carefully considering your security practices and policies. Look into using the MVPS hosts file for blocking parasite web sites, a better anti-malware solution such as Avast!, and setting IE to not run ActiveX except for sites in your Trusted Sites list.
Excellent points about security, Thanks
