To create a shortcut in Windows 7 that would run as Administrator without triggering a UAC prompt, you create a task in Task Scheduler for it.

Good luck!

Oh dear, I just realized that I also asked this exact question too. – William C Sep 22 '11 at 22:34
P.S. Note that the "admin" shortcut points to schtasks.exe, so this shortcut and the "normal" shortcut can exist separately on the taskbar. – William C Sep 22 '11 at 22:45
Actually, it's OK for it to trigger a UAC prompt. – JCCyC Sep 24 '11 at 07:03
