VB Forum / Win API / May 2008

Hi Kevin,

Here is the sample program that I want to run on Vista

#define UNICODE
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include <userenv.h>
#include <windows.h>

void wmain(int argc, WCHAR *argv[])
{
    DWORD dwFlags=0;
   PROCESS_INFORMATION pi={0};
    STARTUPINFOW         si={0};
    SecureZeroMemory(&si, sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
   si.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
    dwFlags = CREATE_UNICODE_ENVIRONMENT;
    if(!CreateProcessWithLogonW(L"administrator", L"UJMO6506-2KS-5",
L"Test0000", LOGON_WITH_PROFILE, NULL, argv[1], dwFlags, NULL, NULL, &si,
&pi))
        printf("\nExecuted CreateProcess with error code=[%d]", GetLastError());
    else
        printf("The pid of the process=[0x%x]", pi.dwProcessId);
}

/* The argv[1] denotes the application we want to create, eg: notepad, calc,
mspaint, explorer, etc) */

Please suggest how should I avoid the UAC popup when the application kicks
off using this API. Disabling the UAC at the OS level is not an option for me.

Regards,
Ashish
