You can set the program to have Admin privileges by using Run As
Administrator with Vista UAC manifest that the program will present the
credentials to Vista, look it up use Google.

Thanks for the quick reply Arnold. Can you be a bit more precise,
please?
I don't have the username and password of the administrator. I've
created a shortcut launch application and I would like it to display
the UAC prompt asking for the permission to raise privileges. Do you
have an example to do that?
Thanks.

If you have created a short-cut for the start application, the Run as Admin
should/might be be there on the short-cut off of Properties/Advanced Button
to set it permanently. If someone runs the application with standard user
rights, then the user must know an Admin account with the user-id and psw.
An Admin running the application won't be asked for credentials but will be
prompted to allow or dis-allow.

The one you should be worried about is the application you're trying to
start form the application with your Start . Net Net statement and its
credentials to start and execute.

Again, use Google and look up *how to use the UAC manifest from a .Net
program to give elevated credentials for an .Net program. There are plenty
of information out there concerning this.

I'm sorry but this is not very clear to me, yet.
I don't need to start my application with elevated rights but I need
to start another application from inside my application with elevated
rights.
I don't want to store the password inside my app. Basically I would
like to replicate the functionality of the "Start as admin" item in
the context menu that appears when you right click on an executable
file in Windows Vista.

I just need some C# sample code do it. Can you point me to it?
Thanks.

Best way to launch an application (with UI) on a remote machine??

by: Michael Howes | last post by:

I have a c# windows form that talks to a web service on a server that then can talk to multiple "agents" on different machines using web service calls. I want to be able to launch an application of the users choice on the remove, "agent" machine. I've discovered that Process.Start() won't work because it runs under asp.net and it will launch any "process" but if the application has a windows UI it will not show.

Launch another application from within C# Winforms application

Hi I am trying to use ShellExecute to launch an application to display a certain file. The variation on the theme is that I need to be able to specify the application to launch and not simply pass the file name (which will then result in the application associated with the file extension to launch). I want to prevent the application registered in the system as being associated with the file extension from opeing the file.

Launch Application as Different User in C# Windows Applicatoin

by: cooltoriz | last post by:

Hello there, I am not asking how to impersonate a process within C# windows application. I already know that, in C# v2.0, you can easily achieve it using ProcessStartInfo. You can run a process or call external program as of different user. The problem of that design is that the mother application is still running as current user. I know that less privilege is more secure.
