Running as Administration

Icomancer applies icon changer to FOLDER only after restarting system.
Icomancer advises the following when trying to apply icon to SHORTCUT:

Access Denied:
Cannot set icon to "C:\Users\McCabe\Desktop\QuikLooks.lnk" shortcut. Please ensure that the shortcut is writable or run icomancer as Administrator.

Exception info:
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Shell32.Shell'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{286E6F1B-7113-4355-9562-96B7E9D64C54}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
