aef03 Posted January 15, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aef03 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share 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") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascend4nt Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ahh I think you've just done that work for me.
