Security – Develop Code with Non-Admin Privileges

By on • ( 4 )

This chapter from Keith Brown‘s book may fall into the required-reading-for-developers category. 


Terminal services, Run As…, modifying the background and title bar of windows running as a different user, enabling debugging as a non-admin, a discussion on where the difficulties lie with building code that can execute in non-privileged environments, etc.


Thanks to Bliz and the founder of the Paul-tini…

    Robert, do you have Administrator AND one another account that’s an Admin? Because the User Accounts control panel applet won’t let you have only Administrator and regular users. You have to go through Computer Management to setup accounts the way you want to…
