Running cmd commands with Administrator rights

How can I run the command **cd..** behind the scenes of a Windows Form? (i.e. the user cannot see it)

Thanks.

What happens when you Run cmd as administrator?

When you use “Run as Administrator,” UAC gets out of the way, and the application is run with full administrator access to everything on your system.

There is also this SO answer to this same exact question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1469790/25882

Example:

System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.Arguments = "/C copy /b Image1.jpg + Archive.rar Image2.jpg";
startInfo.Verb = "runas";
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();
