How to enable shortcuts for 'Run as administrator' in Windows 8?

Just in case you have a professional curiosity about it, I won’t feel offended if you have no more time for me.

I remounted the old system image again, shortcuts worked. I have a distinct program drive P: but Paragon, as well as Windows at the recovery re-installation, assigned another letter to it. Now, as soon as I changed this drive letter back, the shortcuts were gone. Of course, cmd is on the system drive C:, it’s beyond my comprehension why it’s shortcuts were effected.

One step towards understanding  :sarcastic:

Shane:
OK so you have the program files folder pointed to another drive?

George:
I've installed all programs, including even MS Office, with the sole exception of Torch which just can't be, on drive P: (on the same internal hard disk). Of course, the programs function via the OS, so they put something on C: too, e.g. in Program Data. If I understand you correctly, this means that the program files folder is pointed to another drive.

New shortcuts directly to elevated run:

works for both cmd and notepad, presumable for others too.
Even more convenient to keep these on the tray (I like clean desktop) than fetching from the start panel.

Yeah that is putting the shortcut setting for admin. Good work around when the right click menu isnt pulling properly :-)
