UAC: "asInvoker" vs "asAdministrator"

Tags: asinvoker, asadministrator, manifest
Hello :-)

I asked this question already but maybe if I ask twice I will get my solution faster :-)

So, I need my application to sometimes write to system registry.

I know that if I add Vista manifest with "asAdministrator" clause Vista will:
1. (every time the software starts) ask user if he really wants to run this software
2. program will be able to change registry

about 1: this is what I do not like.
Vista should ask the user if he allows program to get an access to computer's resources ONLY WHEN PROGRAM ACTUALLY WANTS TO DO IT
not every time it starts.

I read an article saying that instead of using asAdministrator I should use asInvoker.
Unfortunatelly when I use asInvoker then Vista:
1. does not ask any questions at all
2. my program cannot write anything to the registry.

Help!

Jack :-)
