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)
