You can edit the UAC Settings (in VB 2008) which is located in the Project Settings. Look for the line that says

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

Change level="asInvoker" to

level="asInvoker" (same access token as the parent process)

level="requireAdministrator" (require full administrator)

level="highestAvailable" (highest privileges available to the current user)
