Trying to optimize my day here, making do with IIS...

When executing IISRESET from the Run dialog or from cmd.exe, I get an access denied error. So executing IISRESET gets annoying - involving both mouse and keyboard:

  1. Start -> Run -> cmd (right-click, Run as Administrator)
  2. Agree to the UAC dialog
  3. Type iisreset, hit enter

I'm looking to be able to run IISRESET as quickly as possible. Ideally I could just go Start -> Run -> iisreset -> Enter, and the UAC prompt would pop up. I tried to enable "Run this program as an Administrator" but it was greyed out, even when I opened the properties dialog as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Thinking of making a Visual Studio macro and a toolbar button; anyone got any other ideas?
