c# - Running an external application in Backgroundworker as an administrator in C#

Question

I am working on a project in C# in Visual Studio 2012

I am running an external exe in backgroundworker, but the external exe is creating a text file in c:\programdata which requires Administrator privileges.

the query i have is whether running my project as administrator will assign administrator privileges to the external exe or not? or how should i address this issue. kindly guide me
