Nope. Go back home and get the telescope. ;P BTW: Eventually MFC appeared in your profile :-D

The function information of IsUserAnAdmin() says - "Shell32.DLL version 5.0 or higher will be required" to make use of this call, which means earlier versions won't have this function exported at all. See here[^]. You'll need the latest SDK (or the SDK which is latest enough and has version 5.0 or higher of Shell32.DLL) to use this call.

Sorry, but I see the question was not "very urgent", so I could ask the OP to take some time to let me know more of the error.

You're wrong: "very urgent" it's the default. "Plz plz very urgent" is the courtesy form. :-D

Here is the code for IsUserAdmin

BOOL IsUserAdmin(VOID)
/*++ 
Routine Description: This routine returns TRUE if the caller's process is a member of the Administrators local group. Caller is NOT expected to be impersonating anyone and is expected to be able to open its own process and process token. 
Arguments: None. 
Return Value: 
   TRUE - Caller has Administrators local group. 
   FALSE - Caller does not have Administrators local group. --
*/ 
{
BOOL b;
SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY NtAuthority = SECURITY_NT_AUTHORITY;
PSID AdministratorsGroup; 
b = AllocateAndInitializeSid(
    &NtAuthority,
    2,
    SECURITY_BUILTIN_DOMAIN_RID,
    DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_ADMINS,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    &AdministratorsGroup); 
if(b) 
{
    if (!CheckTokenMembership( NULL, AdministratorsGroup, &b)) 
    {
         b = FALSE;
    }

You should do the following: Header: Declared in Winbase.h; include Windows.h. Library: Use Advapi32.lib And look for Advapi32.dll. Check out MSDN for more details
