Terminal: Allow terminal to open in admin by default

[rohit21agrawal]

Currently i configure cmd.exe and pwsh.exe as taskbar shortcuts and i can configure these shortcuts to always run in admin mode when i open them.

Is is possible to do the same for the terminal app? Not sure if this is possible since it is a store app, and not a win32 app, but it would be really convenient if i didn't have to right click a couple of times and then select Run as Administrator every time i launch the terminal.

Secondly, this is a dupe of #632

I appreciate that you're likely responding to a lot of issues; however, this was my first foray into this community and I was following what appeared to be a pattern from a prior poster.

If you want to foster community, responses like yours are unwelcome.

Not a duplicate. #632 concerns profiles running as admin by default. This issue concerns the whole app launching as admin by default, whether in itself or via some kind of configured shortcut file.

I almost always run Terminal in Admin mode, and to do so I have to make two extra right-clicks because of the absence of this feature, available for any non-Store app that I know of.
