If im logged in as an administrator on windows is it possible to run a application with standard privileges? It seems like outlook is run with standard privilege even if started on from an admin account. So i believe that it's possible.
The application is one we have built ourself so we can change the manifest as we like. It's set as HighestAvailible right now. But if we change it to AsInvoker it will run with elevated privileges on a admin account and with standard privileges on a standard account.
So my question; is can i force windows to run the application with standard privileges?
Background info: The reason i want to do this is that we do some outlook integrations. And if our app is run as admin and outlook as standard a COM error occurs. If I force outlook to run as admin and our is run as admin it works just fine. If i run our app from a standard account it also works fine. So the only time it fails is when our app is run as admin and outlook is run as standard. And this seems to be the default way in windows 8.1. Outlook is started with standard privileges even on a admin account.
