Yes and no,

you can determine if your current account rights match those of the 
adminitration group.  there are a number of steps to go through to do this:
1) call OpenProcessToken on the current process.
2) call GetTokenInformation on the returned handle
3) call AllocateAndInitializeSid to get information on the admin rights..
4) use EqualSid to compare the two.

I believe Remy posted some code here last year explaining how to do this, if 
not I can post my version which as I remember is based on his (it might 
actually be his...)
