The one “catch” with this method is that you’ll see a User Account Control popup every time you run the shortcut, asking whether you want to perform the action.

You can remove them from your desktop, if you like. They’ll appear in your Start menu, where you can click them, and the keyboard shortcuts will also function. Copy-paste the shortcuts into the folder that appears.
