OK, I think I understand what you are trying to do. These items are not icons but links, commonly known as shortcuts. I think you can access their properties through the IShellLink COM interface, but I am not sure of the exact steps required. I would suggest you try searching with Google or Bing to see if any sample code exists.

I've got this app -- that wants to run with elevated priv's.
I've added to the manifest:
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable" uiAccess="false">
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
Is it possible to make the app auto-start with elevation?
The app can run without elevation... but in order to make use of some API's I need more rights.
The question -- is there a way to register the app so that it's pre-approved to run elevated? I'd like if the user can approve it once and never be asked again?
The app needs to run at the startup of the user session. I find that it won't start itself at login with this manifest.

There is an autoElevate flag but it seems that it only works for certain executables signed by Microsoft. I do not know if Microsoft plans on supporting auto-elevation for signed third-party applications.

No thats not how UAC elevation is implemented.

I looked at autoElevate -- Microsoft looks quite restrictive on that, as most of their own apps aren't allowed to use it.
Is my only recourse here to tell the user they "can't have it" unless they elevate it or disable UAC?
Are there any runtime API's which I can call to request elevation of the process? Or, is it the case that the security mode cannot change once the app has started?

In vista there are 2 modes, one is with UAC enabled (in which u r currently working) and other is UAC disabled. In 2nd case the OS will be running as without security and it will be possible for you to run ur application with required priviledges. But to make UAC disabled you need to have Admin rights. The code that you have provided is for manifest file and using this file it will prompt user to provide admin priviledges while running any application.

to go a little further -- how does the whole world of UAC apply to services?
How would a service go about getting admin priveleges?

As it should be.

Correct. In my opinion the UAC changes are just as much a cultural change as a functional change. In my opinion both Windows users and developers have really bad habits. I have never hear any Unix/Linux develpers complain because they don't automatically have root access.
Peter Weyzen wrote: Are there any runtime API's which I can call to request elevation of the process? Or, is it the case that the security mode cannot change once the app has started?
A process with a restricted token cannot impersonate a higher access level. You will have to deal with the UAC prompts if you continue to use functions which require administrative access. You could however use an elevated DCOM component or an out-of-process COM server with broker functions.

UAC is a good thing -- I think process security is an important thing.
But think about me. I write backup software, and I want to add "volume shadow copy" support to my stuff.
When UAC is in place, I am denied access to it to the shadow services...
Is there a way the user can get backup rights without getting into the UAC mess?
(for me it's a mess)

I need to know what the Active Page is before the User goes to another Page. The reason for this, I need to collect the data on the Page the User just left. I may need to insert the data the User entered on the Previous Page into the Page the User has selected to go to next. This is not a "Wizard" type CPropertySheet!

Remember, I may want to display data to the now Active Page BEFORE it is presented. I need to be able to do that!
How do I stop the showing of a selected Page before I have a chance to update the Data that may need to be displayed on the selected page?

Override the OnKillActive method in the property page derived class.
From here you can communicate with the property sheet class using messages or events.
The property sheet class can then act as a mediator to copy the necessary data.

As he said:
OnSetActive and OnKillActive should be overridden on each panel. When you exit one panel, OnKillActive is called -- at that point save data from that panel... then on the new panel OnSetActive can load the data needed.
I do this all the time, it works great!
