Here are the steps:

Create XML file with following content: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
 <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  <assemblyIdentity version="1.1.1.1"
   processorArchitecture="X86"
   name="YourApplicationExeName"
   type="win32"/>
  <description>elevate execution level</description>
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
  <security>
   <requestedPrivileges>
    <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/>
   </requestedPrivileges>
  </security>
  </trustInfo>
 </assembly>

Name this XML file as YourApplicationName.manifest

Create a text file with following
content:

1 24 "YourApplicationName.manifest"

Name this text file as YourApplicationName.RC using the
command line execute following command:

brcc32 YourApplicationName.RC -foYourApplicationName.REC

This will create a new resource file called YourApplicationName.REC Copy
this YourApplicationName.REC file in to the resource path of your
application. Include this resource file into the DPR of you application,

as like:

{$R YourApplicationName.REC} Finally build your application – it is now ready to get admin rights
