overwrite user permissions on local folders or assume admin role on client machien programmatically

Bill Nguyen

I tried to rename a local folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Mappoint\Data)
in my VB.NEt app but running into permission problem. I even granted full
rights to ASPNET user to the folder in question but it's still not working.
If I do it manually (my login has administrator rights to the local/client
machine), I had no problem. Is there any way to assume the local admin role
programmatically to do this?
Thanks
Bill

Hi,

Have you tried impersonation?
