Program shortcut that requires UAC permission

Hi,
I had a customer that just updated to Windows 7. He had shortcut on his desktop that launched an application on a mapped network drive. Everytime he launched the program the UAC window came up and prompted him to indicate whether it was ok or not to run the program on the mapped drive. Very annoying.. So I found this interesting article on how to create a shortcut with an elevated prompt using task scheduler. Nifty. It helped me hopefully it helps you as well.
