On Windows 7 (and I think also Vista) an elevated process will not by default accept items dragged and dropped onto it. I have a few programs which I have to run elevated, which is nicely accomplished with SuRun. However, these processes won't accept dragging and dropping items on their windows from processes that aren't elevated.

How can I override this default behavior for given processes, based on the name of the process (path to its executable image etc)?

Just to make sure people get what I am up to. I am a developer myself and I know for a fact that it's possible to filter and "unfilter" messages (and here) to an elevated program. So I am literally asking for some solution that provides this canned and doesn't require turning off UAC completely or start the "dragging program" elevated every time, which I don't deem an option.

    It's still the same question and, IMO anyway, the accepted answer IS the actual answer (turn off UAC or proxy through another file manager that's running elevated). If you'd like newer/better/different answers to the existing question, perhaps consider [placing a bounty](http://superuser.com/privileges/set-bounties) on it. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Feb 25 '13 at 20:15
