Add an entry on Win+X menu to open Device Manager as administrator

[cocus]

Hello,
On my local machine I have my own user set up as non-administrator for security reasons. I usually have to open device manager (work related with hardware, usb mostly) and if you've logged in as a regular user, the Device Manager complains at startup saying you're not an administrator and you can't change any configuration without authenticating as an admin every single time you want to change something.
I'd like to have a new entry on the Win+X menu like "Device Manager (run as administrator)". I'm not sure if this should be a simple on/off entry on the config, or just something that the code figures out automatically on startup (i.e. if the current user is an admin or not).

Would really like to see this :)

Thanks!

Open up device manager and then pin it to the taskbar. Then you can right click on it and run as administrator.

I might be missing something, but you can't pin it when you open it up.

(It's in spanish, but it only says "Close window")

Okay, from the OpenShell start menu I can indeed pin devmgmt.msc, but once it's pinned, the right menu doesn't show "run as admin".

So this feature request makes even more sense :)

1. Find "C:\Windows\System32\devmgmt.msc"
2. Right click it, "Show More Options"
3. Pin to Taskbar.
