Is there a shortcut to open Command prompt in Administrator mode

Question

It is fast and easy to open command prompt on windows: Win + R and cmd. It is also possible to open the command prompt as an administrator: Right click on the icon and run as administrator.

But this method is more time consuming. So is there a way to do it faster (via a combination of shortcut and typing like I mentioned for command prompt)?

I have tried to use Win + R with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER but with no success: enter image description here

Here are examples of command prompts opened with various means:

Clicking on an icon
Clicking on the icon with right click and run as administrator
Win + R, cmd, Enter
Win + R, cmd, Ctrl + Shift + Enter

Press + X then press A to open a CMD.exe with admin rights.

You can use Ctrl+Shift+Enter from the Start Screen Search Results to run a particular program as Admin.

For Windows 8.1 you can right click on the menu entry in Explorer and add it to the Quick Launch. That makes it available from an Alt+n shortcut. This may also work on Windows 8.
