elevate privileges in C# , Access to the path 'c:\Documents and Settings' is denied

Question

When I try to access files on my desktop or in some other places from my c# app, it throws an error "Access to the path 'c:\Documents and Settings' is denied.".

If I understand right, it is because my app doesn't have privileges to access certain directories?

What can I do to elevate such privileges ?

Thanks!
