title: How to detect if executable requires UAC elevation (C# pref)
body: <p>how can I detect if executable requires UAC elevation? 
  So far I came to two ideas: 
  picture recognition of executable's icon to check if UAC shield icon is on it 
  and information from wikipedia:
  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control</a></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>it is possible to programmatically detect if an executable will require elevation by using CreateProcess() and setting the dwCreationFlags parameter to CREATE_SUSPENDED. If elevation is required, then ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED will be returned.[16] If elevation is not required, a success return code will be returned at which point you can use TerminateProcess() on the newly created, suspended process. This will not allow you to detect that an executable requires elevation if you are already executing in an elevated process.</p>
