That is correct.

Microsoft changed the behaviour of UAC (User Account Control) quite a
bit in W7 compared to Vista.

Apparently this now includes access rights to icons in the Taskbar...
even if those icons are "owned" by applications elevated privileges
(apparently) are needed to update those icons.

John: Google for "elevated privileges updating icons taskbar windows 7"
- should give you some pointers.
