I'm making a "stupid" program that cleans the print spooler. However, the commands mus be executed with admin rights.

How can I force the program to run with admin rights?

Something like this?

I remember passing thru that thread a few days ago.
But that's too complex for me
I'm making a simple program, no graphic interface, a single .c file...
I have no idea about what a manifest file is.

The manifest file is what you need to require admin rights

It's only used in compiling the program, it's not a seperate file that has to be used/distributed with the program

Do I have to install Visual Studio do to that?

Because I'm making a 20 line console program (which 4 are real commands, others are a simple text-interface). I don't think it'd worth...

Edit: I've just accidentally deleted the source code

If you do re-discover your source code, then the only way without visual studio (that i know of) is to right click on the program and do "run as administrator".....or go to its compatibility tab and check the 'run as administrator' box.

what are you using to compile it if not visual studio?

I'm using Dev-Cpp, which uses GCC. It's very simple. I used to do college stuff.

That's the alternative I'm using.
