"Run as Administrator" privilege

External Since: Nov 13, 2008 Posts: 2

G'Day All,

I have a standard user who would like to run 'Wallpaper Changer for Windows
Xp Powertoy".

It will work correctly only if "Run as Administrator".

Is there a way of applying that permission to the PROGRAM.

I.e. is there a workaround that would allow the program to work for a
non-administrative user, for whom it generates a series of CreateFile,
WriteFile and CloseHandle messages.?

Any help appreciated!

If you give your user an Administrator password (so they can 'run as
Administrator') are you sure they won't use the password for /any/ other
purpose? Are you sure they'll store the password safely and not reveal
it to anyone else?
