_RunWithReducedPrivileges An odd thing about Vista+ O/S's is that, once you run a process in elevated privileges mode, you can't run other processes in lower-privileged modes. Why, you ask, would that be important? Sometimes you want - or need - to limit the privileges of a process: A very common scenario for me is drag-and-drop. Windows' Explorer does NOT allow this to occur between lower privileged processes (like Explorer itself!) and other processes. This is very frustrating for users in programs that take advantage of that. There's also some problems using certain SendMessage commands

When I hit F5 or click on "Go" to run the application SciTE is unable to hook into the app and get Console output when run like this. I can, however, go through the trouble of opening SciTE independently as administrator before opening the source code .au3 files and when I hit f5 or "Go" like this I am again
