Thank you very much for your response

Some codes in my project will need administrative rights to work effectively. Eg.

if ping('google.com')

. I don't want the user to right click the exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" but instead on double click User Account Control will pop-up for the user to select YES before the application can run. In simple words, I want my application to run as administrator

Hi Humblelion,

I believe that if you right-click on your application and go to the security tab you can set "run as admin" and hit apply.  This will make sure
that your application runs with administrative privileges.  Hope that solves your issue.

Thanks for the correction Dmitry, that's what I was trying to communicate.

Thanks Dmitry but I don't want to tell everyone i distribute the application to, to always run as administrator but at least something to prompt them to run as an Administrator first before use. A software like RUFUS can never run without running as an adminstrator

Thank you gonpublic2K, but not solved

Re: Administrative Privileges

May be you should use Installer for that, where you can tune privilege, example

Thank you very much. I will give it a try.

I was equally reading through some articles online and it made suggestions to the use of  .manifest and .rc files that will help run the application as administrator. This was done using Delphi but I'm wondering if this could be implemented in MvD?

It isn't suitable way for MVD.
