Why does Powershell always work as admin now?

I am running Windows 7 and recently installed an update to use Powershell 3.0. This process went fine, and I've been using Powershell 3 for about a month now. I noticed that every time I run Powershell, it works with elevated privileges. I don’t right click and run as administrator, I just do a normal left click. This happens when I launch from the Start menu or when it is attached to the taskbar or, nevertheless, I launch it. This never happened with Powershell 2. I didn’t do anything special to always start as Admin, since I don’t want to always run as Admin. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can check?

If you set the Shorcut Powershell properties (in the "Advanced" section) and set it as "Administrator", it will always start in administrator mode. See if this is the case, and remove the setting if so.

(Please note that if the same shortcut is attached, you will see the same effect when you open from docked applications, how you feel it)
