Right click the shortcut or the exe file it links too, go to advanced and select run as administrator.

You'll still get a UAC prompt though - or at least I did when I tried what you suggest. I think the only way to do it is to set up a scheduled task. Try this:

Do I just do everything up to step 13?

Do all the steps

If you install Prio, you can then run Task Manager, find the .exe for the app in question (once it's running) and right-click on that .exe in the Processes list and choose Silent elevation. From that point on whenever that .exe is executed, Prio will handle the elevation "silently" so you don't get the UAC prompt. Been using Prio for years now, it's probably the second thing I put on my own hardware right behind WinRAR after a clean install.

Aside from the actual intended purpose - allowing you to save the priority for any given process - it's an incredibly useful utility overall... and it's free.
