Hello.
I want to adapt the following technique into python: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/aaron_margosis/archive/2009/06/06/faq-how-do-i-start -a-program-as-the-desktop-user-from-an-elevated-app.aspx So I started with the following code: import win32security import win32process process = win32process.GetCurrentProcess() token = win32security.OpenProcessToken(process, win32security.TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES) privilege_luid = win32security.LookupPrivilegeValue(None, win32security.SE_INCREASE_QUOTA_NAME) privilege = [(privilege_luid, win32security.SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED)] win32security.AdjustTokenPrivileges(token, 0, privilege) But it fails with the error number 5 (Access denied) once "AdjustTokenPrivileges" has been executed. That would be obvious if I had not started python as admin. (Properties -> Start as admin) Also the process token is another one (at least the integer of token.handle is another one) if started as non-elevated. I have no idea why this is happening. I do have the appropriate permissions and the code should be correct. Can anyone help me? (Btw: My OS is Windows7 Pro 64bit and I'm not a standard user.) Regards, Johannes
