How can I change never notify in 'user account control settings' by c#? by manual : User Accounts -> user account control settings -> change by scall bar to 'never notify'.

@HasanKhan: you will only be able to change it when you are executing as an Administrator. They are all powerful anyway and should know what they are doing. — Emond, Oct 03 '11 at 09:49
After all, with years of running as administrator in previous Windows versions, users have clearly demonstrated their grasp of "what they are doing", and as a consequence, Windows has a really good reputation as a secure OS. @sari k : please ensure that you prompt the user VERY clearly about the changes you want to make and allow whatever it is you are writing to function correctly w/o requiring UAC to be disabled. — spender, Oct 03 '11 at 09:52

As an Administrator you could change the appropriate registry key using C#:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

This should do the trick.

using Microsoft.Win32;

RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System");
key.SetValue("EnableLUA", "0");
key.Close();
