Random UAC permissions for C# applications notes:

• Ask for elevated permissions via app.manifest - see <requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable"/> or requireAdministrator - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6ad1fshk.aspx
• Can’t change elevation of a running process, need to start a new process.
• To run an elevated cmd.exe and make it look like you’re request permissions mid-run for things like file operations (when you’re really starting new elevated process), set Verbs property of ProcessStartInfo to "runas"

Do we really need to know about Randy’s young-age staple remover obsession?

I mentioned on Twitter earlier today that very often when I get really stuck on something and finally decide to ask for help on a forum, the answer suddenly hits me as I finish writing my post. Most of the time the problem is something really silly that I just kept completely overlooking, and the answer feels painfully obvious once it clicks. Despite the fact that these might be a little embarrassing to post, I figured rather than letting my entire would-be forum post go to total waste once I finally get what’s happening (and so never end up clicking the “Post” button), it might be nice to post the issue on my blog, if nothing else as a reminder of my own facepalm moments.
