    You cannot do this. Every user is not going to have admin permissions ability. That means you cannot run the app as a normal user at all. Th eonly people who could run the app are those who are members of the Administrators group. You have no choice but to run this as a service under a dedicated admin account. What are you doing that requires admin priv's anyway?

        If you can't run it logged on as Admin, then it doesn't matter what you do, it aint going to run. So first, get it running then you should be able to run on startup. If it has no UI, it probably should not have been posted here in the Windows Forms forum. Like I said get it working first and then seperate the components so the admin stuff runs as a service and the "all user" stuff like screen grabs, runs as a startup app. Then you just need to find a way of communicating with the service. Hope that helps

            Its not console application, not service and it has UI but when on specific keys are pressed.

            why would I separate if I can run admin stuff :confused: and to grab screen no need to run on startup, just run it when need to grab. using service is just last option

                  You said it had no UI and now you say it does! As mentioned to you before, a user can not run code that requires Administrator rights unless they have Administrator rights. That's why you need to separate that code and run it as a service. A service can run with Administrator rights regardless of the users rights. All the best.

                    it has no UI until user press some combination of keys, which is quite rare.

                      What does this mean exactly? Are you changing the IP of the workstation?? Why would you do this outside of changing the network the machine is on? This is never done on an application basis. The rest does not take an admin to do. The exception may be Shutdown/Restart because of policy settings.
