I use the following shell script to start a command as Administrator. I mainly just use it to start mintty.
#!/bin/bash
cmd="$(cygpath -da "$1")"; shift
if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
powershell Start-Process "$cmd" -ArgumentList \""$@"\" -Verb RunAs -WindowStyle Hidden
else
powershell Start-Process "$cmd" -Verb RunAs -WindowStyle Hidden
fi
