A little known trick is that any windows programs launched via a command prompt retain the permissions granted to that prompt. If you use the "runas" program to start CMD, you can have one administrative console that launches all of your other GUI tools administratively. I've got little scripts and batchfiles written so that I don't have to run up and down the file trees to find the executables too.
It's been said before though, the best way to work is to use all of your tools effectively. Not using a GUI interface just because it's not Console is pretty stupid, especially when the GUI is faster/easier/more reliable. Now, if the GUI takes forever to load and flakes out all the time, more power to you.
