The reason for the task is, the program requires elevated privileges to run.
If put in startup, or a run key, it will still prompt to run.
Modifying UAC, should never be an option to run any program, ever, ever, ever. Never ever.
I do not believe I did anything special. It does popup on the desktop for me at login.
I would have you check the hidden icons in systray incase it is minimizing there on startup.
