uac

I want my program to be able to edit a values within a registry key that resides in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\XYZ", "MyValue", "MyData") The above works fine in Windows XP, but throws an UnauthorizedAccessException in Vista. JaredPar You are running into Vista's UAC feature. It will not let you write to arbitrary places in the HKLM hive because you are not running with Administrative priviledges. There are two ways to work around this issue Run the program with Administrative priviledges (different than running a program as an account which

I have been searching and I cannot seem to get this work. I am trying to launch SFC from a button in a C# app. I am aware that it requires rights elevation and in the scope of what I am trying to do is behavior that I want. I have tried: To run cmd as administrator along with command? Running CMD as administrator with an argument from C# and C# how to run a process(with arguments) through an administrator elevated cmd The code I tried last was: private void button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd", "/c " + "processNeedToRun") {

Hello, When the UAC message is displayed in Windows Vista, 7 or 8 the background becomes inaccessible until the user selects from the message dialog. Can this be done with VB.NET program to make the background inaccessible until the user selects from the Form? What I want is what happens to the background when UAC or similar message is shown like the image below, That's pretty easy to do, just display a black borderless form with opacity and the dialog on top of it. Do keep in mind that this of course cannot provide the same level as protection as the UAC prompt provides, you cannot use the

Is it possible for a process to lower itself from elevated UAC permission back to standard user? If not can the elevated process launch its copy with standard user token and then kill itself? Any code examples (C# preferred)? Details: Problem: - user installs my product (written in C#) - the installer elevates its UAC permission to admin - at the end the installer launches my exe - the exe inherits elevated permissions from admin - the exe mounts network drives which become invisible in Windows Explorer (that runs with regular permissions) Options I considered: 1) break installer into outer

笔者最近在学习UAC绕过的技术，通过对其他师傅的文章进行总结，成功利用DLL劫持绕过了UAC，并且可以以High Mandatory Level来启动进程。在此记录下学习过程，笔者也是初次接触，若各位师傅发现文章中的错误，望各位师傅斧正。 一、基础知识简述 UAC： 用户帐户控制（User Account Control，简写作UA C)是 微软 公司在其 Windows Vista 及更高版本操作系统中采用的一种控制机制，保护系统进行不必要的更改，提升操作系统的稳定性和安全性。 管理员一般以较小的权限去运行管理员任务，低权限的管理员被称为被保护的管理员，这些管理员在执行管理员任务时，可以通过用户交互界面来提升权限去执行任务。 普通用户执行管理员任务时会被要求提升到管理员权限，再去执行任务 DLL文件：动态链接库文件，多数可执行文件并不是一个完整的文件，它被分为多个DLL文件，大多数EXE程序执行的时候均会调用DLL文件。 当程序运行时调用DLL文件的过程： 1.程序所在目录 2.系统目录即 SYSTEM32 目录 3.16位系统目录即 SYSTEM 目录 4.Windows目录 5.加载 DLL 时所在的当前目录 6.PATH环境变量中列出的目录 可执行程序在调用DLL文件的过程中会在高优先级目录中查找（首先查找程序所在目录），当无法找到时会依次在较低优先级的目录中查找

Suppose I have a script that needs to read information from places that normal user is not permitted to read (e.g. other users' folders). Currently all I can do is complain about not being run as a "superuser" and quit, but I would rather like the script to ask for elevation itself. jm666 According to MSDN and PerlMonks , you can try: Win32::FileOp::ShellExecute( runas => 'yourprogram.exe' ) or Win32::FileOp::ShellExecute( runasuser => 'yourprogram.exe' ) These should (not tested) ask you for elevation when it is needed.
