How do I automatically run the command prompt as administrator every time, if its already pinned to the taskbar?

Do you mean Right-Click and then Run as Administrator?

When I click on the command prompt that is now pinned on my taskbar, I want it to go immediately into administrator mode. I have this on my laptop and I want to get it to work that way on my wife's PC that I am setting up.

Have a look at this . . .

> To Always Run as Administrator in Shortcut Advanced Properties

I hope this helps.

...drag it to your taskbar and that should do it for you.

Unfortunately for @bobhurd while you can create a shortcut on your desktop to launch an admin command prompt, you cannot pin a shortcut to the taskbar.

I open a Command Prompt as Administrator then right-click that icon on the Taskbar and choose Pin to taskbar.
