Delphi Administrator rights D7 W7 [duplicate]

Answer 1

Processes receive their token at startup and then cannot change them. Thus if you want an app that appears to elevate for some subset of its functionality, that functionality must involve a new process. What you cannot do is elevate an existing process.

Answer 2

If you want it to have administrator rights, then you have to go through UAC. You can't elevate to administrator without it showing the UAC prompt, unless UAC is disabled. Obviously, you have to choose YES on the UAC prompt for it to be given administrator privileges.
