Windows 10: Removing UAC shield from shortcut icons

This is not in as much, a question. It's a solution that worked for me in Windows 11. I had a few programs that I created shortcut for and added Admin privileges to. I wanted to remove the admin privileges, so I right-clicked and on the "Compatibility Tab", I unchecked "Run As Administrator" and rebooted. To my surprise, the UAC Shield was still there. Here's what I did to remove the shields. 1. Mouse over the shortcut with the UAC shield. Once, you've selected it, mouse off the icon and hit "ALT+Enter" to bring up properties.

UAC Shield

How do I remove the UAC Shield from my Icons, while still keeping Administrator Privileges? I know what the Blue and Gold Shield represents. I know how to remove it from a shortcut if I remove the Administrator Privileges. I want to keep Privileges active
but remove the Shield. Is this possible? Do I need to remove or disable UAC to accomplish this?

Removal of UAC SHIELD ICON

Searched Google, then due to the lock of

Redirecting

So i create a new discussion:

There is a REG key in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons"

Then add or edit the value as "%systemroot%\system32\imageres.dll,1" for string "77"

Restart the explorer, done.
Useful for Windows 11 also. I tried.

PS. I have already am "Administrator" account, and disabled UAC in "control.exe", and "Admin Approval Mode for built-in administrators" in "gpedit.msc"
