That's because you can only elevate a process, but once the process has been elevated, it cannot de-elevate itself or create non-elevated child processes (at least I'm not aware of a method). And running the audio tools with elevated rights certainly is NOT a good idea, when processing a lot files that might originate from an "unknown" source...

(If however you get this warning although your are certainly NOT launching LameXP with elevated rights, e.g. "Run as administrator", please let me know. I don't have a Vista machine to test)
would it be possible to make lamexp run without getting a msg about the elevated rights, maybe a option to turn it off as i DO trust what programs i run as i know where the files are from

Running on Windows NT 6.1 (win 7)

TokenIsElevated: YES
