Solved blue and yellow shield on program icons

Some of the programs that I have pinned to the taskbar have a blue and yellow shield over the icon which means when i try and run it i get a dialogue box pop up saying do i want the program to make changes to the computer.
Is there any way of turning this off without putting the securiity settings right down?

Reduce the alert level in UAC.

i have already tried that but its currently on the 2nd lowest setting but i do not want to turn it right off so are there any other ways i can tell it not to notify me for a specific program?

cheers

Thats worked perfectly, thank you!

In case anyone else comes across this and wants a real solution; I found the REAL cause of this issue:

The "C:\users\public\public desktop" folder permission contained an entry for a particular user that denied all permissions except "Read". I have no idea how that line got in there but removing it and logging in the user solved the problem!!

PS, I also ran the Rebuild Icon Cache batch file which is found here Icon Cache - Rebuild - Windows 7 Help Forums in order to remove the admin shields from the icons. This is just a cosmetic step though.
