How to remove the UAC shield icon from exe
Okay, I know, you hate that icon. But no worries, I promise you WE WILL REMOVE THAT STUPID ICON. Really, even if it's a very specific situation, I'll answer with more than just simple solutions.
STEP 1: Check the administor settigs.
Basically right click the shortcut. Go to "Compability" and uncheck "Run this program as an administor."
"But I still want to be launching shortcut as administor!"
Then go to Shortcut > Advanced > Check "Run as Administrator"
"But I already have that unchecked! This doesn't work!"

"I know."
"I know. I know because I faced the same issue. Every single tutorial online gave the same solutions. They couldn't understand that my issue was the .exe from the beginning, not the shortcut itselfr. Some told me I should check the box again. Some told me I should recreate the .exe from the beginning. Some told me I should not remove the icon. Some told me it's IMPOSSIBLE to do it. But my brothers... My sisters... I know.... I know the way to remove it! Because I... I DID IT. AND NOW I WILL SHOW IT TO YOU."

Now listen up. This is a serious tutorial. I spent years finding out how to remove that icon. Had my war with that UAC shield for years beyond these walls. So now, listen up carefully if you want to survive against these .exe files.
You can see the shortcut I will be editing as "FSX.exe" which is for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (2006)
This is path to my .exe and the game. Replace it with your game's directory and .exe
Now save your file to desktop exactly as:
Launch_NoAdmin.bat
Don't worry. Just bite your thumb, transform into a huge titan and throw it out of the walls, into the garbage bin. You won't need that shield icon .exe anymore.
There, change the icon to your game's icon from it's directory. Rename the file to your game's name. Now you have a hidden "Launch_NoAdmin.bat" shortcut that launches your game but looks exactly like your game's exe.
