How to open folder and file in place with admin status

[Spitfire]

I guess you have to run app as an administrator to get those permissions.

Right click on the app and select 'run as administrator' (on w7, vista will have something similar but I can't tell atm).

One solution is to make sure your folder location is somewhere less restricted, like 'my documents' or similar. I think you can do this with desktop services:

use storageLocation() and enum QDesktopServices::ApplicationsLocation
