Admin Icon

[BKPB]

In previous versions, Everything had an Administrator icon on the Shortcuts and in the Start menu, which was ugly. She's not here now, and that's a good thing. My question. How did you do it ? By editing the Manifest or in another way ? I want to remove the Admin icon from another program. I tried to replace the Manifest in it with the Manifest from your program, the icon stopped being displayed, but the programs also stopped running with Administrator rights. Tell me how to get rid of the Administrator icon and at the same time so that the program has Administrator rights.

Everything does the following:


Use the following in your manifest:

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

Instead of:

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



In your program startup code:

• call IsUserAnAdmin()
• If not running as an admin:
  • Get the current executable filename with GetModuleFileNameW(NULL,filename,filename_buffer_size);
  • ShellExecute the executable filename with the "runas" verb

The icon remained

Does the admin icon remain after rebuilding your icon cache? (ignore the top bit)

[BKPB]

Yes, this removes the icon, but then the program does not start with Administrator rights by default. Then at startup, it requires a startup from the Administrator. P.S. I use an online translator.
