[DUG] IPC with an elevated program

[Ross Levis]

I don't really want global shared memory.  The reason for the small app is
to have the UAC prompt appear when I need to make changes to the HKLM
registry, which is very rare.  There is a standard way to do this but it
sounds difficult.  Some sort of DLL needs to be created I believe.

If you want to to use shared memory in Vista and above its best to write a
service to create global shared memory that all users can access. The key
here is global shared memory and with the right security bits set. Best to
Google global shared memory for more info.

 

heres one link I found that maybe helpful

 >> But since Vista SP1 or SP2, Microsoft appears to be preventing shared
memory access between an app with standard privileges and one with elevated.
I've been   wondering why some users have been reporting odd problems and
this appears to be it.
