Description
# Description of the new feature/enhancement
As well as having the option to Open in Windows Terminal as a right-click in Explorer (which should be configurable as discussed in #9902 and #6113 ) it would be really helpful to have a configurable option to ALSO have an "Open in Windows Terminal (Admin)" option to quickly open up Windows Terminal with Admin rights to be able to access those commands which need it.
# Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Add an option in the configuration to enable/disable an "Open in Windows Terminal (Admin)" context menu option.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing related issues #9902 and #6113 to understand the existing configurable Explorer integration. Locate the Windows Terminal context-menu configuration and determine how an elevated “Admin” entry should be enabled or disabled. Done means the option is configurable and the admin context-menu action opens Windows Terminal with elevated rights.
