Adding a file to the all users startup folder probably doesn't even
require elevation. Maybe even a regular user can do it, given the
default ProgramData NTFS permissions. I don't remember what the
defaults are.
Background:
NT 6 (Vista) added User Account Control (UAC), which adds the "run as
administrator" option. This launches a process with an elevated access
token.
ShellExecute allows the same with the "runas" verb. You can verify
whether it exists on your system for the exefile filetype (e.g.
python.exe):
C:\>reg query hkcr\exefile\shell\runas\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas\command
(Default) REG_SZ "%1" %*
IsolatedCommand REG_SZ "%1" %*
On a related note, the old "runas.exe" console command lets you launch
a process with the credentials of an administrator account. However,
it can't 'elevate' the process.
