When you start a process, your "rights" in the form of a security token are passed along to the process. If the token has enough rights, the action is allowed. If not enough rights, the action is denied. Although the normal account is an admin account, most things that happen actually use the token from the limited user token. LUA can cause some aggrevation as everything you do must be "Run As" the admin.

In previous windows versions, you had to input credential when "running as", or use something like SuRun which could remember them for you in a handy way. The different levels of UAC you can change will effect what displays a prompt and what does not, and whether you must enter credentials in order to use the admin token.

If you do this, per file or object, then it can be as you suggest. Otherwise, most likely the answer is no, you cannot do that easily.

It'll take me time to read them all up. Token Elevation Type A number from 1 to 3 indicating the type of elevation being requested: Type 1 TokenElevationTypeDefault is used only if UAC is disabled or if the user is the built-in Administrator account or a service account. This type does not generate a UAC prompt.

Type 2 TokenElevationTypeFull is used when the application requires and is granted elevated privileges. This is the only type that generates a UAC prompt. This type can also be generated if a user starts an application using RunAs, or if a previously elevated process creates a new process. Type 3 TokenElevationTypeLimited is used when the application runs using standard privileges.

This type does not require a UAC prompt.
