The above answers works, but on Windows 10 you might bump with disabled advanced shortcut screen. So for windows 10 do the following:

1. Create shortcut to the solution file
2. Right click the shortcut => properties
3. Choose Shortcut tab
4. Under Target add the visual studio executable location before the sln path. For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" C:\mypath\example\example.sln

6. Select "Run as administrator"
7. Press ok
8. Double click the shortcut - you should be able to run the solution as administrator now.
