The UAC runs in a context called the protected desktop. When the UAC is active things like this won't work. Your program won't be able to press "Okay" or anything.
Secondly, non-admin users can't install most drivers and autorun will ask them if they really want to run the app. Admin users can install but will also have to deal with the autorun dialog.
- dfox 16y agoSo you are saying that protected desktop accepts key presses only from some but not all keyboards connected to system? That does not seem quite right. And as for UAC and protected desktop: take debugger and look at how most UAC prompts are invoked. Many of them are caused by user-space code running in address space of "offending" process, so you can patch them out.
