A question on "run as administrator"

A question on "run as administrator"

My program writes in "C:\Program Files"   and "C:\Windows\System32".
This only works, if it is run as administrator, otherwise it writes into "C:\Users\Mic_User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files".

I would like to create a Messagebox giving a warning, if the program isn't run as administrator.
I could try to write "something" and if it fails give out the MessageBox.

Is there a possibility to know directly after start, how it is run ?

INVOKE IsUserAnAdmin
Returns TRUE or FALSE

What's wrong with that function ?
So the whole check on the user is only one line.
