  • Resolution set to Rejected
  • Status changed from new to closed

We can't, elevation only occurs at process creation time. Impersonation is not an option because impersonation is only available to already elevated processes (by default). Even elevated COM objects are implemented as out-of-process objects (thus the server process is elevated thus calls into that object are elevated). All other ideas would be clunky, slow, difficult to implement and dodgy at best.
