I have a command that i need run by cmd.exe when something happens in my program. Let’s say the command is “calc.exe”. When i use ShellExecute:
HWND win = GetActiveWindow();
ShellExecute(win,L"open",L"calc.exe",L"",L"", SW_SHOWNORMAL );
The calc.exe process starts in session 0 so i cannot see it. Is there any way to set it to start in the active users window? I don’t want to use CreateProcess as I have been having privilege issues with it
Thanks
No.
ShellExecutecannot run a program in another session. You’ll need to useCreateProcessAsUser. There are numerous questions on here that discuss how to do this.
