How to run a program _without_ elevated rights?
-
Hi folks! I've just modified my updater application to contain a manifest so that it can update an application in
C:\Program Files
without failing because of UAC's directory virtualization. After replacing the old files, the application that was just updated gets started by the updater application again, but this time runs with elevated rights as well (because the updater program got elevated rights). Does anyone know how to drop the elevated rights before starting the other application?Regards, mav -- Black holes are the places where God divided by 0...
