Elevated Program Shortcut - Create for Standard User

I would like to add a small tip in case if you are only using the Built-in Admin for THIS purpose.
You can hide the Administrator account from the welcome screen by setting the following registry key:

User Account - Hide

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
"Administrator"=dword:00000000

To unhide:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
"Administrator"=dword:00000001

Cheers:)

Hello!
I'm 99% sure I have the shortcut code written correctly, and I've triple checked the file location.
However, after I launch the shortcut, the command window opens and immediately closes, and my program never launches.
I made the shortcut while on a standard user account, could this keep the program from launching?

I created the shortcut again while logged into the administrator account, and the program still won't launch. I used a screen recorder to freeze the brief second when the command window pops up, and it says that the program requires elevation. Here's the exact code I wrote, can you guys spot any problems? (The admin account has been renamed Dad, it is the only admin account on the computer.)

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:BLU-RAYINSPIRON\Dad /savecred "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bandicam\bdcam.exe"

Thank you for posting this educative information, However, after entering the password in the command prompt, it just disappears but still asking for password when i try opening the application as standard user.

Is there something i am missing?

Thanks for this, I've just tested it on a standalone Windows 8.1EE machine and it worked well. Do you know if it works the same way if setup on a machine joined to a domain - in this case Server 2012R2 ?

Thanks

I am trying to run Photoshop CS3 with admin right for a normal user. I followed option 2 and at step 11, I didn't have the option "Disable Inheritance". I am on Windows 7 Ultimate. I get a disabled check-box which says "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent. So I skipped the steps 11-14. And when I double clicked the shortcut and enter the password just to check, I get the error as:
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Photoshop.exe
