Presumably if you are able to use ADE and it needs to read the Key from somewhere... then your user has rights to read it. So, your user account has rights to read it, so it will when you run this script.

Also, if you were running UAC and the program requested access to something your non-elevated token it should request elevation via the UAC prompt.

Even with running UAC you can start the command window "as administrator" and then any process it spawns will also have full admin rights.

Many people blame UAC for things it isn't responsible for. Although UAC is mostly annoying because many apps still are written properly for Vista and/or to run as "standard user" account.
