Standard user in Windows 7 Premium

[Michiel]

I've noticed that when logged on as a "standard user" in Windows 7 Home Premium, even when i've confirmed an elevation prompt, I still don't have write access to e.g. the registry or the program files folder.

I can make the user in question member of Administrators, but that's not point. What causes this? Is this known?

Also, when I start a process as an elevated user, the privileges gained don't seem to propagate further to child processes as I'm accustomed to. Does this sound familiar?

Sounds like you might be wrestling with a group policy, >link to topic.

You need to post some code so we can see where the problem might be. How do you start "child processes"?

It's Windows 7 Home Edition, it isn't connected to a domain. Thanks for replying though.

With all due respect, but, what's with the quotes? Are you suggesting I don't understand what a child process is?

Obviously I mean spawned from e.g. cmd, explorer or AutoIt. In any case, the child process should inherit the parent process' privileges.
