Here's a sure way (warning to shell haters - involves shell and sudo...)
Prompt user for admin password:
Dim sh As New Shell
Sh.Execute "echo " + thePassword + " | sudo -S /usr/bin/true"
Sh.execute "sudo rm -rf " + f.ShellPath
Sh.Execute "sudo -K"
This would use your same f folderitem. By doing the first sudo call,
the potential for someone ca[turing the password is reduced to near
nil. The last sudo -K just resets / clears the sudo timer.
