Solution 1

You can't, that's the whole idea.
If your app needs admin access, then the user has to be asked if he approves of this: anything else would allow any application to bypass the admin requirement and render it useless.

In C# you can actually disable UAC with this following bunch of code:

RegistryKey uac = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\System",true);
if (uac == null)
{
 uac = Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey(("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\System");
}
uac.SetValue("EnableLUA", 1);
uac.Close();

But beside that, there isn't any other way of "removing" User Account Control for specific applications. Also, as Jason Dot Wang say here: Link msdn[^] you should proof your applications against the UAC, rather then trying to disable it.

Read not only the "Disable UAC" code, but all the rest i said. I am not quite sure why this is happening... and the "UAC Disable" doesn't work for all programs... but even if it works, it's bad logic to try to close UAC. Everything about programming is logic... and trying to close UAC just because it popups when someone is opening your program... is just bad logic. Check the other "solution" i gave you.
