DropMyRights - the GUI version

In my never ending quest to get rid of all "command window" windows when starting applications I just had to change the source code of the great Microsoft tool DropMyRights. This tool allows you to run Windows as an administrator and access Internet data safely by dropping unnecessary administrative privileges when using any tool to access the Internet. They way it does this is to start the tool before your browser (for example) does, you just supply the executable name of the browser as a parameter to dropmyrights and the browser will be started by dropmyright without administrative privileges. But the originel DropMyRights version by Microsoft is implemented as a Win32 Console Project. In this case I don't realy like that, because you see a command window flashing by, however short, but still irritating enough in my opinion..

So what I did a couple of weeks ago is just recompile it as a real Win32 window based application, added some messagebox error messages to it. The rest is of course the same only that is now available to you all!

Some 'screenshots':

In the zip file attached to this article you will find the source code and the executable of the new and improved DropMyRights. Hope you all like it. Download this Techlog.org hosted tool here: DropMyRightsGUI
