Editting the registry in VB.NET - vb.net

Question

I used the code necessary to change the DWord of a registry in VB.NET however I need to always Right click and run as administrator for it to work. In order to prevent this I passed the administrator user credentials before executing the command, however I get an error message.
The code I used for this purpose is,
Dim regVersion As RegistryKey
regVersion = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\services\\USBSTOR", True)
Try
Dim intVersion As Integer = 4
intVersion = regVersion.GetValue("Start", 0)
intVersion = intVersion + 1
End If
Dim p As New ProcessInfo(regVersion.SetValue("Start", intVersion))
p.UseShellExecute = False
p.Domain = "domain"
p.UserName = "Yoosuf"
p.Password = New System.Security.SecureString()
Dim q As New System.Security.SecureString()
For Each c As Char In
q.Password.AppendChar(c)
Next
Process.Start(p)
regVersion.Close()
Catch es As Exception
End Try
However I receive an error message on the line
Dim p As New ProcessInfo()
Could anyone please let me know what is the mistake I have done

Answer 1

The error is most likely because this code:
Dim p As New ProcessInfo(regVersion.SetValue("Start", intVersion))
doesn't make any sense. The ProcessInfo constructor is expecting a string, which specifies the name of the file or application to be started. You've passed it the result of the RegistryKey.SetValue method, which does not return a value.
Considering the real problem that you want to solve is,
I need to always Right click and run as administrator for it to work
then the real solution is to add a manifest to your application that indicates it should be launched with administrative privileges. This would free you from having to right-click and explicitly choose "Run as administrator" each time. Instead, the application's process would be automatically elevated (if possible), or you would be prompted for permission by UAC.
To do this in Visual Studio for a VB.NET application, you need to modify the default manifest that is embedded into the application. Here are the steps:
Right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer, and select "Properties".
Open the "Application" tab.
Click "View Windows Settings".
This opens the default manifest. Change the <requestedExecutionLevel> element to requireAdministrator.
It should look like this:
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
