 | Creating an Elevated Button Control
When using Microsoft Windows Vista, administrative tasks are restricted by the user account control (UAC) system. Buttons that require elevated permissions are displayed with the command text and a shield icon to indicate that permission will be required. |
| Check if a Program is Running as an Administrator
User Account Control (UAC) protects Vista by preventing programs from performing administrative or system functions without prior permission. Before attempting such a function, you should check whether your software is running with elevated privileges. |
| Run .NET Programs as Administrator on Vista
User Account Control (UAC) protects Vista by preventing malware from executing various tasks that modify the operating system, its files or configuration. If you develop software that requires this access, you must elevate your program's privileges. |
| Get the Current User's Login Name
Modern secure software requires either a login name and password, or detects the current user and automatically assigns the correct permissions. In order to create a security system that requires no password, the current user must be identified. |
