If you’re a system administrator (or like many developers), chances are you use PowerShell a lot and have the PowerShell console or PowerShell ISE on your Windows 7 taskbar. On Windows Vista and on Windows Server 2008 prior to R2 I was annoyed by having both ISE and console on the quick launch bar or pinned to the start menu.
In Windows 7 here’s a neat tip. Pin the PowerShell console to the taskbar and not the PowerShell ISE. When you right click on the icon, you get a handy jump list which includes not only "Run As Administrator" but also "Open PowerShell ISE". All in the space of a single tile.
