Solution 2

You can set up your manifest file to request such permissions, but that will generate a warning that people may choose to reject, and not run your app. You can ask them to run as admin, which has the same problem.

using Microsoft.Win32;
RegistryKey rKey = Registry.currentuser.OpenSubKey("\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
\Explorer");
if (rKey == null)
{
rKey = Registry.currentuser.CreateSubKey("\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
\Explorer");
}
RegistryKey key = Registry.currentuser.OpenSubKey("\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
\Explorer", true);
string sysname = Environment.MachineName;
key.SetValue("Sysname", sysname, RegistryValueKind.String);
