Set compiler option 'Request Administrator mode...'

Code: Select all

r1 = IsUserAnAdmin_()
If r1
  MessageRequester("Info", "Is Admin")
Else
  MessageRequester("Info", "Is not Admin")
EndIf

Sorry, I did not require
[x] Request Administrator mode for Windows Vista and above.
on Windows 10. But, I have UAC off.

I do use other means of protection.
Constant UAC prompts are no protection if I pick up my computer and throw it against a wall. :evil:

Why be loud ...
If you use a different protection, that is good
But as a first protection, I consider UAC to be useful. If not as last protection.

So everyone has his opinion :wink:

Haha, not being loud at you. I was trashing UAC, the thief of clicks. :!:

That totally defeats the purpose. Use IsUserAdmin_() instead.

UAC is a nightmare! I have wasted a countless number of hours helping CAD-CAM customers whose PC grinds to a standstill with UAC deployed.
