    Vista run as adminstrator

    Is there some way I can "debug as administrator" in the same way I can
    run as administrator?

    Thanks

      What are you talking about? What's the purpose you are seeking?

      Run as Administrator is privilege escalation for a program to run with full
      admin rights on Vista?

      Someone logged on to the computer with Admin rights on Vista is locked down,
      and they do not have the unrestricted rights like they had in the previous
      versions of the NT classed O/S(s) such has XP or Win 2k.

      The same holds true for any program running under Admin or Standard rights.
      The programs privileges must be escalated to do certain things.

      You start up VS with Run As Administrator, you are a user with Admin rights
      logged on to the machine, then there should be no problems in debugging.

          My basic problem is that I have a system running on XP which uses
          account types (admin and user) to allow the programs users different
          options.

          I do not think these options require "true" admin rights under Vista but
          I have no way any more of differentiating among the two types of user.

          If there is no way of doing that can a program escalate its own
          privileges and if so how?

          Thanks

              On Vista it's called using the Vista UAC (User Account Control) manifest so
              the the program can escalate its privileges. You can look it up and see how
              to incorporate the Vista UAC manifest in you .Net solution -- use Google.
