How to find the working directory of a running program/process ?

[jiataifeng]

It seems the program is working differently from RUN function. just click to run, it's working fine.

 

thanks.

Have you taken a look at _WinAPI_GetProcessWorkingDirectory?

P.S. When you say "click to run", are you dealing with a shortcut that could be setting the working directory as part of its configuration?

Thank you for your interest and help. It's exe file, not shortcut.

Tried to use _WinAPI_GetProcessWorkingDirectory to the the working dir, but when use the dir getton from the  API function to run the program, the it didn't run as expected. It means the working dir isn't correct.

Post your code.

I noticed the problem is gone with the admin windows account.

I was testing with user account.

So the problem turns to how to run a program as admin with non-admin user bypass UAC.

I tried to use runas, but it didn't work/

RunAs("admin","domain.com","adminpass",4,"cmd.exe",@WindowsDir)

 

 

Is it possible to use runas to open a window like this? I noticed whatever the account I used to open the cmd windows, it's non-admin one.

 

 

Thank you very much
