If UAC settings have not been changed, set the compatibility mode to "run as an administrator."

I have a process that I want to put a shortcut to on the user's desktop, which is intended to be run by support staff to do various things if the user has issues. However, obviously I don't want the user to be able to run it themselves, so I was thinking if you could somehow make a program require admin credentials (i.e. by popping up the UAC prompt), I would have an easy solution to this issue. However, as I have found, it's not easy to find info on this....what criteria does a program have to fill so that UAC fires up every time you launch it?
