It depends.


In my case I use an explorer replacement (Unreal Commander) but you can launch an executable from a command shell, from a vb script, from a scheduled task, from a program launcher, from a macro, or even from an open file/save file dialog.

In every case the executable inherits the elevation level from the launcher.

Explorer.exe is not essential to Windows to correctly work. If you want to experiment, try to open an explorer replacement program and kill the process Explorer.exe. Nothing will change in Windows except for the disappearance of your desktop and start menu.

Yeah, I just launch it from regularly from the SyMenu folder]]> Sat, 07 Dec 2019 01:13:19 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=761 Message from Gianluca

Luckly SyMenu alerts you with the little shield when is running in elevated mode.
Anyway find the app that launches SyMenu and you'll have your offender.

I knew about the shield; that's how I knew it was in elevated mode. What do you mean the app that launches SyMenu? I thought Explorer.exe launched all of the apps/programs.]]> Thu, 05 Dec 2019 01:23:05 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=761 Message from Gianluca Anyway find the app that launches SyMenu and you'll have your offender.]]> Tue, 03 Dec 2019 07:46:01 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=761 Message from Knightmare Gianluca wrote:
SyMenu can run in elevated mode in two cases:
1) the user asks the elevated mode explicitly
2) the user executes SyMenu from a program that is already in elevated mode.
If you are working with an elevated user, and probably the MS account is configured this way, everything you execute will inherit this mode, even SyMenu.

...Well crap. It hasn't caused an issue so far, but I do remember reading that some apps might misbehave running under an elevated state.]]> Tue, 03 Dec 2019 00:52:06 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=761 Message from Gianluca 1) the user asks the elevated mode explicitly
