Windows (7) CMD prompt Run as Administrator Dims Display

I have a Run As Administrator CMD prompt which works fine (no dimming), however, even with UAC set to  "Never Notify", 
 
when I spawn a subsequent (child) cmd session, 
i.e. c:\LocalData> runas /user:{domain}\{adminusername}"cmd /k color 0E & echo ... etc"
... UAC would kick in and dim my display ... MOST annoying!

Copious searching failed to uncover a solution.

On a whim I tried moving UAC back just one level ...
 
... viola! No more screen dimming!
