But when deleting a file in the 'program files' folder, it is elevated.

Does it use COM at that point or does it just elevate the 'explorer.exe' with some command line parameters?

Is command line parameters are the way, can someone point me to a page, where I can find these so I can use an elevated 'explorer.exe' to delete/create files/folders inside the 'program files' folder (or any other admin privilege required folder).
