I think i was not able to communicate my problem properly. I want my
application to start itself automatically in elevated mode as soon as i
login. Something like a login script or guirunonce ;-)

Hello,

If it is a background task, you can schedule the task with task scheduler to
run inside an administrator or system account with highest privilege. Note
that the application will not be visible on the screen.

It is not currently possible to have an interactive application run
automatically with elevated privileges without prompting the user.

No it's not...

Runas does not elevate applications. Using savecred will run the application
under the profile of the saved credentials, but it will NOT be elevated.

The only exception is with the built-in administrator account.

Use runasspc with the built-in administrator to run your application
automatically after logon.
You find the tool on on www.robotronic.de/runasspcEn.html

Right, but we can run that app with runas /savecred using credentials of
built-in administrator.
