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 automatically asks for elevation
fails with error 740 - 'The requested operation requires elevation'.
