VS 2008 Run As Admin Without Password On Windows 7
Jan 24, 2010
I'm working on an app that will only be used on Windows 7 and the user environment is very limited. Standard users cannot run exe files just by double clicking them. However, there is a bug that if you right click and click "Run as Administrator" on the exe, it runs without you needing to put the admin password in. So, what I'd like my app to do is sort of "emulate" this function on another exe. So the user clicks a button and it launches another exe by emulating the right click run as admin.Is this possible, without putting in the administrators username and password?

I am wondering if it is possible to read in the encrypted value of a Windows users password so I can preload a textbox with the value? I have a checkbox on my .NET form -> Use Workstation Logon. When the user checks this box, the username and password fields are populated respectively.

on XP Pro, IsUserRole(eUserType.Administrator) returns true, if the class is administrator, and false if it's limited...
On Vista, it returns true, if it's the first administrator account, and false for anything else... I created a second administrator account on Vista, and it shows in code as "Standard" (or limited) user, the same as if I made a "Managed Account" on Vista...

At the moment I'm working on an app that has a few buttons. I'd like to have one of those buttons launch an app (that will be included with the app I'm creating) as administrator. How do I do this? Is there a way to make it so that it can be run relative to my app (So it doesn't matter where my app is located, so long as the other app I'm trying to launch is in the same folder or a subfolder.)Also, I'd like to know if I could make it launch the other app with a sort of "virtual right click and run as admin". This app will only be used on Windows 7 and due to restrictions set on the PC's, you cannot run the apps just by double clicking on them. However, if you right click and select "run as administrator" the app runs, without any user input (ie. you have to put in the administrator's password). So in short, I'm looking to emulate this with code when a user clicks a button.

I've got an asp.net assignment where I'm to create 7 user's in the ASP.Net Admin Tool but when I open it up and click the security tab I'm getting the following error message:"There is a problem with your selected data store..." problem is, I don't even know what a data store is and VS has never had me select one... any ideas how to fix this? All my Asp.net apps work fine on this computer.
I'm running VS 2008 on Win7 Home Premium x64 and I did install SQL Server 2008 Express last night in case it's needed.

I've encountered several scenarios when my application wants to delete an item, but is prevented from doing so by the operating system. So I've been wondering, is it possible to ask for elevated status after the application has launched? E.g. the application needs to delete a certain file, so it asks for confirmation and then deletes the file...

I'm having trouble getting my app to auto-start by adding a registry key. The problem it is having is checking if the user has admin privileges. I tried setting the thread principal, because before it would always return false when I tried My.User.IsAuthenticated, but when I check if My.User.IsInRole("Administrators"), it still returns false, even when it should return true.Here's my current code. This worked fine without even setting the thread principal when I was just creating a regular Windows Form.
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetThreadPrincipal(New Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal(New Security.Principal.GenericIdentity("UserName"), Nothing))
If My.User.IsAuthenticated Then

is it possible to have my app protect a folder's files from being viewed by other users. like, if i set the command to protect a folder, then if anyone tries to access that folder will be prompted with a msgbox.
it probably means having a separate app loading at windows startup and constatly running in the background to make sure that folder isn't being accessed.
so much work to do and so many choices to choose from...

I want to implement a password text box that will behave like the one we see in Windows 7 (ie, when there is no user input, then it will display a string 'Enter password', and when the user press any key, this string is cleared). I tried all the events like 'TextChanged', KeyPress', etc., but failed to get the result.

I'm writing a backup program for personal (for the moment at least) use.
For some directories (network directories / protected directories) credentials are needed to access them.
I can setup different jobs in the program to run at specific times.
These jobs are stored in an XML file.
I want to also store the usernames and passwords which the jobs will need.
What and where would be the best way to store these?
Changing permissions on the directories is not an option.

I have already build a application where you type in your username and password and it changes it to the specified password. Now I want to make a "User password remover" application. (It should be the same as "Control PanelUser Accounts and Family SafetyUser
AccountsRemove Your Password").
The program should check:
1) Which User is currently logged on and using the program.
2) Check if the User has a password.
3) If No then Exit the program, else Step 4.
4) If YES then allow the User to type in his current password, press a button and Windows should remove the password.

I have programs written in VB2005 accessing mdb database in server. When the server run XP, it was never a problem (at the time, the folder was shared to all). There is a new rule in the company and we have Win 2003 server, and my mdb file must be stored in a folder in the server that the administrator (not I) have installed password. And clients are supposed to access it as user only. I can ask password as administrator, but the users of my program must not have the administrator password (which I can included in my program if necessary). How can I modify my program so that it can access the database? I assume I must modify my connection string, but I do not know how. I am currently using this:
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= C:Integrity ERPPBF.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=ABC"
