Is there a way to let the program work this way that no administrator rights are needed, or that the program may only boot up as administrator? So they won't be allowed to boot it up without administator rights. (I do not mean to force the administrator, but only to let them press "accept" or "cancel" in the UAC pupop

Problem is, from within the VB Express environment it does not. The 2nd app starts, then complains about Access Rights.Can I start a process with Administrator rights in Windows 7 from within the environment?

I would like to setup this click once application to run as an administrator so the user doesn't need to be in the Administrator group. The program is reading the"C:Documents and Settings" & User & "Local SettingsTemp" folder looking for files with extension like "emf", "tmp" and "htm" and then deleting the files if they are older than 24 hours. We have a third party application that adds these file and doesn't delete them so I need the users to run this cleanup program.

I've been having huge problems having a VB.NET Windows Forms program run as a scheduled task under XP SP3. The program runs when I set the task up to use my non-admin network username and password, I can see the interface fine (albeit without the desired results - the program requires access to remote shares). When I set the task up with the network administrator account credentials, the task is "Running" but I do not see any interface. It doesn't error - it just kind of sits there happily in the background.

Alright!
But the problem is when my program has to delete a certain file in C:/ at startup, it just can't because it's not ran as administrator!
I installed the program my self and tested it on Windows Vista, but it gives a lot of errors because it creates files into the application folder and it doesn't have admin rights. If I right click and select "Run As Admin" there are no problems of course, but It's not for private use...So I'm searching for a way to automaticly display the "Run As Admin" Dialog when I open my application,

I have made my app check for an update then if there is an update download the updated version and then close itself. But before it closes, it saves a text file with the startup location of itself. Then when the updated app opens it deletes the old app by getting the old app location from the text file.
but it will only delete the old app if it has admin rights. how can you start (compile) a app with admin right in vb 2008. how to compile app with admin rights.
Never before did i realize the neccessity to scrap the User Account Control, other than for reasons it was simply annoying, until i became a developer. I have an application that does nothing more than remove and create files within its own directory. Are you telling me every application that creates local files require admin rights? Surely something is wrong here. Can this not be circumvented? How do other developers overcome this issue?

View 2 RepliesI want to know what rights the user has for a given folder on a network drive. But I can't find anything that does just this.
I have used DirectoryInfo.GetAccessControl and DirectorySecurity.GetAccessRules, etc. to get a collection (AuthorizationRuleCollection) of rules. But that gives me all the access groups and their rights. I don't need that (I guess I can see if I can find code that gets which returns the security groups for the current user and then compare those to the collection, but this seems awkward.)
Or I can write code that tries to create a file, delete it, etc. which is easy to do, but not quite accurate (if the user can't create a file, how can I see if the user can delete one, if the user has create, but not delete rights, I get a bunch of temp files, etc.)
All I need to know is if the current user has read write, read only, create, and/or delete rights to a given folder (and I guess file might also be nice - I would assume similar code.)
I have to believe that its a really simple thing. But Googling it and searching on the forums here didn't turn up much (unless I want code to change the users rights - which I don't.)
