Why was 'Run as Administrator' option removed from the menus?

from Stardock Forums

Alot of programs need this to run properly, especially on Windows 7 (and Vista)!

It doesn't make any sense to take a feature like this out.

Will it be put back in the next update?

OD2 is close to useless for me without it.

You make no sense.

 

I can't be the only person who runs programs as Administrator?

You can set the program to "run as administrator" directly in Windows 7.  Just right click on the program select properties and then the compatibility tab and you will see it there.

Thank you, seems like a decent workaround.

you can also hold down the shift key+right click dock icon for normal menu where "Run as administrator" is there.

I'd like the Shift+Right Mouse Click option action to be the default action. Could a toggle/tickbox be added for this?
