barney:
is there a shortcut-way of starting an app as admin from the start menu -
Ctrl+Click, or something like that?

Right+Click, select Run as Administrator.

I found an answer, but it is both a little difficult and dangerous: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprosecurity/thread/1798a1a7-bd2e-4e42-8e98-0bc715e7f641/ so I am not going to try it yet.

I am not sure it happens in Real Life...:
Windows 7 Explorer uses a DCOM based start method which prevents you from running Windows Explorer elevated.-Andre.Ziegler, 37,966 Points

It should be said that Andre.Ziegler is the same guy who gave the linked (dangerous) solution.

I know the menu option is there, and it does start Windows Explorer: further, deponent sayeth not. You'd just have to try it to see. From things I've read, it should start in elevated mode: other things say Explorer can't/shouldn't be run that way. Never tested it to see. However, as you are running the same tool both as desktop initiator and [in/on] the desktop, I can imagine collisions :P :P. Be kinda like inflating a blimp inside a party balloon, maybe :-\?
Curt:
-well, if I would/could use this method x16wda kindly linked to, I could test it:
However, I am certainly too tired to try right now; It is night around here.

no, I meant a shortcut method, one click with a qualifier key - maybe it's in FARR ??
