How to request administrator permissions when the program starts?

by

Add the following to your manifest file:

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

You can also use highestAvailable for the level.

Look here about embedding manifest files:

PS: If you don’t have a manifest file, you can easily add a new one:

In Visual Studio, right click project -> Add Item -> Choose
Application Manifest File ( under General for Visual C# items)

The added file will already have the above part, just change the level to requireAdministrator from asInvoker
