I don't remember who it was that helped in the command-as-admin thread, so
if it was you, I'm EXTREMELY THANKFUL that you offered the advice that
solved that problem.

IMHO, most Windows experts re-purpose existing solutions to match the
different requirements of the next problem set.

That's all we did (together) to solve this problem set:
1. The goal is always single click efficiency by multiple methods
2. The file is buried in a lousy place which is wasteful to shortcut
3. The filename had no extension, hence no default editing application
4. The file itself has to be edited with administrator privileges
5. The solution requires no changes to the PATH variable
