Well... what _is_ the path? Which statememt throws the error? What error?

I think your application is not given permission to access that path. Can you run your application as an administrator. Right-click on it and select "Run as Administrator". If still not working, let me know. Provide me the path that you are trying access. Change the path and try to access.

As stated in comments and in the error, this is a permissions issue.

If access to some file system object is denied, you cannot fix its access by some application via any manipulations inside this application. Just think about it: if UAC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control[^], read about it thoroughly) could be worked around, why would anyone create and use it?

You can only elevate privilege for your application run your application "As Administrator", or use elevation of your privileges to modify the access to the file system object in question. Please see: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11841-run-administrator.html[^].

Alternatively, you can create an embed the application manifest, to force elevation automatically, from the very beginning: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756929.aspx[^].

No, it won't bypass the UAC dialog. :-)
