Fortunately, ShellRunAs.exe seems to work in Win7, albeit only for items under All Programs -- pinned and recent items seem to suppress it. Honestly, what's wrong with the ordinary right-click menu? Why the shift? Stupid. Windows 7 hates technical users. And by having to press SHIFT, they’ve turned a one-handed operation into a two-handed one.

They made this too dependent of UAC (which I disable as soon as I remember). What I’m mostly annoyed is that it does nothing for explorer.exe.
