[RESOLVED] [2005] Grant Administrator access to a Process?

[~*McoreD*~]

Hi All,

Inspired by http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=420404, I was wondering if there is a way to grant Administrator access to a Process?

I have the following code:

Dim p As New Process
            Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo("defrag.exe")
            psi.Arguments = drv
            p.StartInfo = psi 
            p.Start()
            p.WaitForExit()

The problem is defrag.exe cannot be run under Limited User.

Therefore as a workaround, I have

btnDefrag.Enabled = My.User.IsInRole(ApplicationServices.BuiltInRole.Administrator)

in Form Load.

It would be great if I could make the Form prompt for Administrator user/pass to start the process. Am I imagining things or is this possible in .NET?

Thanks guys!

Well there is a username and password property of the ProcessStartInfo class in order to specify a username and password to run the process under...

OMG! Thanks gigemboy. I had seen UserName and Password before but didn't think it will smartly handle User Credentials.

Thanks so much.
