Launch applications as administrator from the dock shortcuts

I want to run cmd.exe as administrator but cannot

I want to add a shortcut to Object Dock to run cmd.exe as administrator. No matter if I drag an already configured as administrator shortcut to the dock it always launches as the current user. If I run the shortcut sitting on my desktop or the one in the windows 8.1 taskbar it runs as administrator. For some reason it automatically looses the "Run as administrator" setting when transferred to the dock. Why?

If you figure out how to do this, please post the solution here.  I have had the same problem.

I just started using this again myself and am running into this problem as well.  Just another note in the "How do I do this?!" section. =)
