Hi, All

Above Execution program is developed by me.

So, If any method is existed, I can modify my source to run as administrator right under Limited user account..

BTW, I have tryed that run as service...
But in that case, I can't get current user's profile and I think that many changed source is required

So, I want that execution process as administrator right in Limited user account
^^

Modify the Application Manifest:

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

Hi.

I had added manifest file to application to require administrator level..

It's effective to limited administrators group.

But not worked well under Limited account...

You cannot run an application as administrator when logged in as a limited user (well you can but it can be abused).
You can either right click the shortcut to your application and 'run as' or use the runas command.
You are better doing a windows service and have an application that can talk to the service.
