Is there a way to change the .exe file permission to run a program 'as administrator'? (I mean from BlitzMax via SetFileMode or something) The only solution I found is to turn off the UAC and make every programs to run with admninistrator rights - not completely safe for certain situation. The problem is that I have a program that starts other applications: unfortunately these applications need to run with 'administrator rights'...(I have to manually set the main program with root-rights...I tought that everthing launched from this application had the correct rights...) Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks

You can do this with the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkits by creating an application fix: http://www.winfaq.de/faq_html/Content/tip2500/onlinefaq.php?h=tip2534.htm Sorry, german text, but the pics are english. Another way is using the task scheduler: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=616

Thank you! PS: a 11Mb application to change some flags...yes very MS style!!! This weekend I check the net to find some 'magic' of registry/library/something to make things a little easy!
