So, after a lot of testing, mostly in virtual machines, I have discovered the following: I can only make PowerPro's "Open" list work correctly under Windows 7 if PowerPro is NOT run as an administrator. Both in a 32-bit virtual machine and in my 64-bit main system, so long as PowerPro ran as an admin, Open commands only ran on programs launched by PowerPro. Yet if I run PowerPro without admin privileges, (32-bit) apps launched by other programs are checked against PowerPro's Open list. If I run Notepad from it's icon on my 64-bit machine, PowerPro doesn't notice, but if I run the 32-bit version of Notepad from C:\Windows\SysWOW64, PowerPro creates my little test message. Under both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Windows 7, turning UAC off (or as off as the default settings allow) doesn't help at all. I also made another test message trigger when a known 32-bit app launches, and that action reliably fires whenever I start that app. Any idea why not running as an admin could work better than running as an admin, or how I can make PowerPro notice 64-bit apps? The end goal here is to force the password dialog box for WinRAR to appear always on top, yet since my version of WinRAR is 64-bit, PowerPro doesn't seem to be able to recognize it.
