elevation

I have an application that I have to run as Administrator. One small part of that application is to start other applications with Process.Start The started applications will also be run as administrators, but I'd rather see them run as the 'normal' user. How do I accomplish that? /johan/ The WinSafer API's allow a process to be launched as a limited, normal, or elevated user. Sample Usage: CreateSaferProcess(@"calc.exe", "", SaferLevel.NormalUser); Source code: //http://odetocode.com/Blogs/scott/archive/2004/10/28/602.aspx public static void CreateSaferProcess(String fileName, String arguments

I know how to launch a process with Admin privileges from a process using: proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true; proc.StartInfo.Verb = "runas"; where proc is a System.Diagnostics.Process. But how does one do the opposite? If the process you're in is already elevated, how do you launch the new process without admin privileges? More accurately, we need to launch the new process with the same permission level as Windows Explorer, so no change if UAC is disabled, but if UAC is enabled, but our process is running elevated, we need to perform a certain operation un-elevated because we're creating a

We need to change some settings to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE at runtime. Is it possible to prompt for uac elevation if needed at runtime, or do I have to launch a second elevated process to do 'the dirty work'? i would relaunch yourself as elevated, passing command line parameters indicating what elevated thing you want to do. You can then jump right to the appropriate form, or just save your HKLM stuff. function RunAsAdmin(hWnd: HWND; filename: string; Parameters: string): Boolean; { See Step 3: Redesign for UAC Compatibility (UAC) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756922.aspx This code
