C＃Win。 表格-以编程方式提升应用程序特权

Question

I have searched a lot on this topic on internet but can find a decent solution to it.

I want my application to get and set Environment Variable values as soon as it is started but it seems that i need administrator privileges for it. Now the problem is that i cannot set the EXE to "Run As Administrator" because on starting the application, it always prompts for admin permission.

Is there any way to avoid the admin privileges prompt programatically ?

Here are the following articles i tried which didn't work :-

1. How do I force my .NET application to run as administrator?
2. Disabling UAC programmatically
3. How can I change never notify in 'user account control settings'

Is there any way to avoid the admin privileges prompt programatically?

Yes, but you should append keys to registry as shown in second link article. And it's not a promt disable, it's UAC disable. If UAC is enabled, windows will always ask you for admin rights, even you try to get them programmatically.

And what about Env Vars, they only divided on groups for your user and for all users, not admin. So you must be able to access all of shared env vars
