    The title is pretty self explanatory. It would be really awesome if we can have a checkbox in the "Installs" tab where we can select a specific install to run as an administrator. Maybe put it next to "Set As Preferred"?

    We don't generally recommend running Unity as an administrator. Why do you need to do it?

    Well, every once in a while there are plugins that need administrator access in order to function. One is a script template editor.
