I implemented the ExecShellWaitEx function for exactly that reason:

ExecShell nor any kind of ExecShellWait is enough to reliably start a process elevated, this is bad advice.
Two issues off the top of my head:
A) Vista, 7 (and 8?) with UAC turned off.
B) 2000, XP and 2003 with non-admin credentials used in the runas dialog.
