The problem seems to be on your machine. I am able to create a new icon and
enter the target:
%SystemRoot%\system32\mshta.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\feedback.hta
for the Feedback link without any prompts for UAC or any other problem. It
just works for me. It does not need permissions of any sort.
Doubleclicking on the new icon calls the feedback page just as the
preinstalled Feedback icon does.

Try simply browsing for any target and completing the wizard to see if you
can get any kind of new icon that calls a program. The issue does not seem
to be the procedure but something to do with a setting on your computer.
