Annoying problem with VISTA and Win7 and above?
-
Hello, I have written one executable in C++ which runs from startup of 'All Users' in user's account. In order to give read and write permissions to the place where this executable reads and writes into a file and creates logs we have a service which gives the particular folder the ACL permissions. Using this concept even restricted user never faces any problem while trying to do any of its designed functionality till XP. But, in some cases starting from VISTA we get the executable visible in task manager but it does not do any thing and also not even makes the log. I need to find why this happens. If any one knows please throw some light on this Regards, Kushagra

I can recommend the Standard User Analyzer tool included with the Application Compatibility Toolkit[^]. It is a kind of a debugger, that monitors all the calls the application does and verifies it doesn't break standard user priviledges. Btw. there is a standard directory for storing application settings and logs. See also SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA,...)[^]
