Without Manifest, without changing compatibility settings, without right clicking and select Run as Administrator or similar ways, how to run my program as Administrator?

Anyone?

OpenSCManager in combo with ShellExecute ?
Creative coders use backward thinking techniques as a strategy.

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

.code
start:
  .if rv(ShellExecute, 0, chr$("runas"), rv(GetCommandLine), 0, 0, 0)>32
inkey "hi admin"
  .endif
  exit
end start

Very good JJ!
Only the guy that says "hi admin" is not the administrator.  :(

Yep, you are right :P

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

.code
start:
  invoke GetCommandLine
  xchg eax, ebx
  .if sdword ptr find$(1, ebx, "-A")>0
MsgBox 0, "I am the admin, really", "Hi", MB_OK
  .else
invoke ShellExecute, 0, chr$("runas"), ebx, chr$("-A"), 0, 0
  .endif
  exit
end start
