shortcut icons with UAC symbol

That icon means the program requires elevated permissions to run. I do not
think it can be disabled.

At least not inherently within Windows Vista.

Thank for answering Richard, but ???? elevated permissions why?, do I have to
use elevated permission to run WMplayer or windows update, or WMediaCenter?
and elevated permission from whom?, if I am the Administrator, it only
appears the 4 shield color icon in every shortcut icon, after I install any
program like Messenger, Adobe or anything else, but the shield icon appears
in all shortcuts after I install a single program, also want to say that
before the install of any program I didn´t have this symbol. also if I click
on the shortcut, I do have permissions, cause it doesn´t prompt any UAC
window, it works fine, just I only hate to see the 4 shield symbol in all my
desktop and start menu icons. almost every icon have it after intalling any
downloaded program.

Hello,

This happened to me once, and went away the next time I restarted my
computer. I'm not sure what casues it to happen.
