How do you run an app as Admin while in Limited User account?

[Sushant Bhatia]

Hi.

I'm working at Arizona State University on a project that is
developing software for individuals who are blind and I need to be
able to setup an App that we are creating to run with Administrator
priveledges while in the Limited user account on WinXP.

We have tried the code provided on this Code Project article.
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/cpimpersonation1.asp

It seemed to work at first but we realized that only the main app was
running in Admin mode while dll's were running in the limited user
mode.

So my question is this :-

1) Is it possible to setup an application to run as Admin on a limited
user account. (I am the admin of the machine).

2) Do I have to use the Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Configuration to
do this?
2.1) If so, any article links or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Sushant Bhatia

Hi Sushant:

I'm a little confused when you say the application was running as an
administrator and the dll's run in a limited user mode. The dll's will
have the same security context as the host process.

Perhaps you are looking for something like the runas utility:
