As Raymond Chen has said before[1], "Applications and DLLs don't have
privileges; users do."  Excerpt:

You *cannot* enforce a requirement for only a fixed magical program to
be able to change certain settings.  No operating system assigns
privileges to programs, they all assign privileges to users.  (And this
is the correct solution, also: in normal operation, it's completely
impossible to tell which program or library called you.  You can't trust
the return address.)  If the user operating the computer has permission
to make a change using your program, then that user has permission to
make the change using any other program as well.
