Hmm, you have to be an administrator to run an application with elevated
rights (= run as).
Anyway, yes, anything MS introduces always turns to be mess.
P.S. Our Ada software needs to run with elevated rights because it uses
NDIS drivers to implement industrial Ethernet protocols. We do a check if
the rights are elevated and if not the program re-spawns itself with "run
as."
In the MS perverted view it is unsafe to elevate the program itself, but
perfectly safe to start another instance elevated! (:-))
