(FYI: It's against the Vista UX guidelines. Standard users should be able to
supply admin credentials when they launch the shortcut. They can't do that if
they can't see it.)
There is no way to do this that I know besides writing a shell folder junction
point in the start menu (seems like a lot of work for this). Sortcuts are
files with no special logic to show/hide them besides single/all users.
Perhaps you could do something with ACLs?

Subject: [WiX-users] Hiding shortcuts from non-priveleged users
I have a shortcut to uninstall our product, but I want that shortcut to only
display for privileged users. I don't what just any user seeing it from the
start menu.
How is that done?
For a local user not in the Administrators group, Add or Remove Programs has no
Change button for our application so that part is OK.
