You can right-click on the shortcut and select Run as Administrator (or set the setting in the properties for the shortcut and run as admin). I think that either way, it will make you enter the credentials of an administrator if the current user is not one.
That does not work on some things, like for example, opening regedit. When I go to run, and enter regedit I see <This task will be created with administrative privileges> but when I execute I see a pop up that reads Registry editing has been disable by your administrator.... which I don't get because I AM an administrator! But if I log out and log back in as THE Administrator then I can use regedit.

I am already an ADMIN account!
