aef03 0 Posted January 15, 2011 Before I ask my quesiton, here's what I've found / research so far: I have found various posts and the code for SystemElevate.au3, but I do not understand if it's impersonate capabilities can be used to start a non-elevated process from an elevated one. I have found Aaron Margosis explanation of the most resilient way to do this using native code (C++) http://blogs.msdn.com/b/aaron_margosis/archive/2009/06/06/faq-how-do-i-start-a-program-as-the-desktop-user-from-an-elevated-app.aspx And this supposedly easier method using Shell execute: http://brandonlive.com/2008/04/27/getting-the-shell-to-run-an-application-for-you-part-2-how/ But I don't understand if I can get any of this to work in Autoit. Does anyone know how to do the IShellDispath2::ShellExecute in autoit - is there already a library or samples? Thanks much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aef03 0 Posted January 16, 2011 Awesome!!!Thanks very much!D.P.S. It would be great if you put some keywords in that forum post (like "run non-elevated from elevated") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ascend4nt 131 Posted January 16, 2011 Ahh I think you've just done that work for me. Doing a Google search on 'elevated to non elevated autoit' brought up your post (and my function came just under it) My contributions:Performance Counters in Windows - Measure CPU, Disk, Network etc Performance | Network Interface Info, Statistics, and Traffic | CPU Multi-Processor Usage w/o Performance Counters | Disk and Device Read/Write Statistics | Atom Table Functions | Process, Thread, & DLL Functions UDFs | Process CPU Usage Trackers | PE File Overlay Extraction | A3X Script Extract | File + Process Imports/Exports Information | Windows Desktop Dimmer Shade | Spotlight + Focus GUI - Highlight and Dim for Eyestrain Relief | CrossHairs (FullScreen) | Rubber-Band Boxes using GUI's (_GUIBox) | GUI Fun! | IE Embedded Control Versioning (use IE9+ and HTML5 in a GUI) | Magnifier (Vista+) Functions UDF | _DLLStructDisplay (Debug!) | _EnumChildWindows (controls etc) | _FileFindEx | _ClipGetHTML | _ClipPutHTML + ClipPutHyperlink | _FileGetShortcutEx | _FilePropertiesDialog | I/O Port Functions | File(s) Drag & Drop | _RunWithReducedPrivileges | _ShellExecuteWithReducedPrivileges | _WinAPI_GetSystemInfo | dotNETGetVersions | Drive(s) Power Status | _WinGetDesktopHandle | _StringParseParameters | Screensaver, Sleep, Desktop Lock Disable | Full-Screen Crash RecoveryWrappers/Modifications of others' contributions:_DOSWildcardsToPCRegEx (original code: RobSaunder's) | WinGetAltTabWinList (original: Authenticity)UDF's added support/programming to:_ExplorerWinGetSelectedItems | MIDIEx UDF (original code: eynstyne)(All personal code/wrappers centrally located at Ascend4nt's AutoIT Code) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
