The down side -- the user will be prompted for approval when they launch the application. But we're all used to that with setup programs under Windows XP.

I understand your answer that you explain what can be done if a user 
does not have privilegues.

My question was more like...
If i want the application to just show a window, even a non privilegues 
user should be able to run it. Then it would not make sense to but this 
into the manifest?
It is only needed for special applications?
