Requiring Administrator Privileges

[Matthias Merkel]

Is there a way to require administrator privileges when running the application?

Its usually the case that you log in as the administrator, if you are not the computer's administrator you should not be trying to circumvent the security.

You can use a manifest, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
    <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
        <security>
            <requestedPrivileges>
                <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/>
            </requestedPrivileges>
        </security>
    </trustInfo>
</assembly>

There is another way, but this should be enough for now.
