It depends on OS. For example, on Windows 7, it is not enough to log on as administrator. You also need to run application with elevated privileges.

Please see:

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11841-run-administrator.html[^].

I think you understand that you cannot run code to elevate privileges without use confirmation, otherwise it would defeat the purpose of UAC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAC[^]). But you can request the privilege from the very beginning whenever the user runs your application. You really should do it, otherwise you would have an exception thrown. Here is how:
