My program needs to run as administrator to load a registry hive. instead of asking the user to right click and choose "run as administrator" how would i prompt automatically?

i was reading somewhere that if i put this in my manifest.xml
it should prompt

CODE

<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel
level="requireAdministrator"
uiAccess="false"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
