Allow to open different windows with different permissions

[MullenStudio]

• VSCode Version: 1.1.1
• OS Version: Windows 10 1511 (10586.318)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Close all Code instances, then run Code as administrator (a new blank Code instance with administrator right)
2. In File Explorer, right click a text file and Open with Code, nothing will happen.

Note: there are multiple other ways to trigger this issue, the above repro is just an example.
Note 2: If you already have a code instance running without administrator running, the above issue will not get triggered. That's why the very first step is to close all Code instances.

I would say this is impossible today given our process architecture.

Why is this impossible? Is there a way to make it possible?

Would it be possible to include the elevation status in the pipe name so there are two parallel pipes for elevated and non-elevated processes?

Hi. If you try to open a file in VS Code from command line using -r option to reuse existing window still fails if you have opened it using admin rights.
