Logged user with vista rights elevation

[GuiD]

Hi all,
Happy new year ;-)

Here is my crazy issue.
Situation :
On vista, i have my admin account named "ADMIN" and another account named
"TOTO"
i created a C# application and launch it through "TOTO" account.
the application request Rights Elevation .
so when i start the application, Vista request ADMIN password to use this
account & rights...
My problem is : i no longer arrive to get TOTO Environnement Variables !
even the Vista Logged username TOTO is impossible to retrieve through my
application

i tried : Environnement.UserName ->ADMIN
Registry keys (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) : all are swapped to ADMIN
values ...
Security.Permission ... namespace : Same result !

This issue make me crazy !!! if anyone know how to ...
Thanks in advance

How did you launch the application, some code would be a great help.

My problem is : i no longer arrive to get TOTO Environnement Variables !
even the Vista Logged username TOTO is impossible to retrieve through my

If you start an application to "runas" ADMIN, you no longer have access to
TOTO's environment, you are running in ADMIN's context, what did you expect
otherwise?
Anyway, show us your code and tell us why you need to run elevated?

I think the problem might be how your software was installed.

Dont install it as an admin !
Install it as the TOTO user.
