Hi ,

u just add one application manifest file in your project . and change the credential to the administrator . like this

XML

<security>
      <requestedprivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
 <!-- UAC Manifest Options
            If you want to change the Windows User Account Control level replace the
            requestedExecutionLevel node with one of the following.

        <requestedExecutionLevel  level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" />
        <requestedExecutionLevel  level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
        <requestedExecutionLevel  level="highestAvailable" uiAccess="false" />

            Specifying requestedExecutionLevel node will disable file and registry virtualization.
            If you want to utilize File and Registry Virtualization for backward
            compatibility then delete the requestedExecutionLevel node.
        -->


   <requestedExecutionLevel  level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />

      </requestedprivileges>
    </security>

thanks
