Vista admin priviledges question

[Kid]

Hi

I found that RegOpenKeyEx will fail on Vista when the base path is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE but my app need to read some key there.

Is there any api can ask admin priviledges when launching then I do
not need to click mouse right key and choose admin priviledges from
Vista pop-up menu ?

Thank you .

What access are you asking for when you try to open the key?

If you're inadvertently asking for write permission rather than just
read, change it!
