Heh. On Windows 7, using 'runas' for the operation in os.startfile()
gives me a normal UAC prompt.

Is there any way to ask for elevation from a subprocess.Popen() call?
Launching an application that normally asks for elevation automatically
fails with error 740 - 'The requested operation requires elevation'. The
runas utility needs an explicit username.
