How do I run Visual Studio as an administrator by default

Question

I recently discovered that even while logged into my personal laptop as an administrator  Visual Studio does not run in administrator mode and you need to explicitly use Run As Administrator   Is there a way to make it run as an administrator by default  other than creating a shortcut  etc

Applying this change will make it so that when you double click on a .sln file Visual Studio will not open. Also, you will not be able to drag and drop files into Visual Studio.

Follow the numbered instructions for each file in the bullited list. The paths are for a standard 64-bit install so you may have to adjust them for your system.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSEnv\VSLauncher.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
1. Right click on the file and select Properties
2. Select the Compatibility tab
3. Optional: Select Change settings for all users
4. Select Run this program as an administrator
5. Select Ok and close the dialog
