How can I open the context menu on start menu search results from the keyboard

In Windows 7, when I hit the widows key and start typing to find a file, I can easily launch a found file by using the arrows to navigate to the file in question and hitting enter. That launches the file in its associated program. I can also hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter to launch it as an administrator. That's all good.

"Open the search results in an own explorer window (2 times Tab, then Enter from the start menu search dialogue). Here, the Shift+F10 combination works as expected.

This workaround costs 3 more key presses but you can still avoid using the mouse.

The original problem is that the focus is not realy moved from the search input field to the search results."
