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.
