They did a good job of hiding it all from the user if you ask me.
Windows' security model is actually extremely robust and handles this sort of stuff really well. Take a look at this for a description of how it all works underneath the hood:

I think people forget to give Windows a lot of credit that it is due.
- AndrewDucker 15y agoOh, absolutely. They don't know, and they don't need to know, unless they're wondering why it's slightly slower to go via winlogon to launch the process viewer. And thanks for the link - that was fascinating. What a shame they bodged it the first time around and had to hack things to make it work!

- code_duck 15y agoThey did a good job of hiding it, yes. Unfortunately this is not something I want to be hidden from me.
