Again, right-click on the app's name. Click on Properties and select the Shortcut tab. Select Advanced. Finally, mark the checkbox next to Run as administrator.
On the Windows desktop, right-click the Visual Studio shortcut, and then select Properties. Select the Advanced button, and then select the Run as administrator check box. Select OK, and then select OK again.
You'll want to modify the manifest that gets embedded in the program. This works on Visual Studio 2008 and higher: Project + Add New Item, select "Application Manifest File". Change the <requestedExecutionLevel> element to:
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" /> The user gets the UAC prompt when they start the program. Use wisely; their patience can wear out quickly.
