How does one write an application that can temporarily acquire
Administrator privilege after throwing up the appropriate
username/password dialog?

Installer programs often do this, especially for things like
installing NT services which require administrator privileges.

I am using Delphi 7 and Delphi 2005 (win32 target).

Thanks in advance if you can advise,
