Running as Administrator from Startup shortcu?

Up until now one of my programs has always run on booting up. Its
shortcut is in my Startup folder.

I have now re-configured the shortcut to 'Run as Administrator', for all
users. It works correctly when d-clicked manually. But it no longer
starts on startup.

Is that to be expected? (Perhaps because the UAC warning is triggered
and obviously cannot be answered?) Can I work around it?

It's no big deal to start it manually, but...

There's a recipe here.

"Creating an Program Shortcut, opening its Properties, opening the
Compatibility tab, checking Run this program as an administrator
and placing this shortcut in the Windows Startup folder does
not work.

What you will have to do, is make use of the Windows Task Scheduler
to create an elevated Shortcut to run Programs bypassing the UAC Prompt.

Thanks, found it shortly after posting - should have looked harder!

Not quite succeeded in getting it working (it's a chore re-booting to
test) so may be back.

This is really really really annoying isn't it? If we check "Run as
Admin" there should be NO UAC prompt, it should just elevate itself. UAC
is such a freaking stupid thing. You see less viruses now that UAC
exists? I don't...

Yeah, but task scheduler REQUIRES that you specify a USER under which to
run the task, DUH! If you specify Administrator then the program's UI
doesn't appear on your desktop (or in your system tray) because it runs
under another user. BUILTIN\USERS kinda works, but I've had instances
where it did not. What you have to do is use SCHTASKS to create the task
with user=INTERACTIVE (the Task Scheduler console will not let you
select this principal) like so:

Schtasks /Create /RU INTERACTIVE /IT /TN MyTaskName /SC ONCE /TR
MyExecutable /ST 00:00

Then edit the task to your liking...
