I have an app that modifies the Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry for auto starting, and I just checked whether the app was loading elevated, and it's not. I can tell because drag & drop from explorer doesn't work when elevated.
Does this mean that all apps sitting in the Startup folder are automatically elevated without any prompting? That sounds like a security risk to me.

Windows 7 introduces some disabling of startup features if they require elevation - changing the icon might be one of these. I have realised that if the program is run normally (not from startup) It can change its own icon OK. This makes a bit more sense, but is still a bit of an oddity - for instance Windows Live Mail (Windows 7 mail program) changes its icon when new mail arrives - that implies that this notification is likely to fail to show if Windows Live Mail is started from the Startup folder....I might experiment with that, but so far I have not needed to restart Windows 7 often so it might be a while :) John _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
