VVV_Easy_Symenu Posts: 159 01/12/2015	VVV_Easy_Symenu Posts: 159 V.4.14-The UAC SyMenu features does not work with the Windows built-in administrator account. I describe how to reproduce the bug. 1) Three accounts: "UserSyMenu" -> Normal Users Group "Owner" and "Administrator" (Built-in administrator) -> Administrators Group 2) Running with "UserSymenu" (NO UAC authorization): Elevating with password "Owner" ->UAC=OK; Shield=OK (appears) Elevating with password "Administrator" -> UAC=OK, Shield=NOK (no appears) (Note: To be able to use built-in administrator account: "net user administrator /active:yes" or with "lusrmgr.msc"). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Even it is not important issue, it's a pity to keep without fixing so I want to try to help. I think it is easy to detect if you work in "Elevate mode" with the Windows CMD "whoami" For instance the following solution: whoami /groups | find "S-1-16-12288" && Echo I am running elevated, so I must be an admin anyway ;-) works fine in Elevated CMD windows with the build in Administrator and with "normal" administrator account. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Links: Windows CMD "whoami" http://ss64.com/nt/whoami.html Proposed Solution: http://stackoverflow.com/a/17803989 Windows Integrity Mechanism Design (Mandatory Levels): https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx Security Identifiers Technical Overview: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn743661.aspx Windows desktop applications > Design > Guidelines > Windows Environment > User Account Control https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn742497(v=vs.85).aspx
