Try this
function CreateProcessWithLogon(use
const
LOGON_WITH_PROFILE=1;
var
lsi: TStartupInfo;
lpi: TProcessInformation;
begin
ZeroMemory(@lsi, sizeOf(lsi));
lsi.cb := sizeOf(lsi);
ZeroMemory(@lpi, sizeOf(lpi));
CreateProcessWithLogonW(PW
LOGON_WITH_PROFILE, nil,PWideChar(wideString(c
nil, nil, lsi, lpi);
Result := GetLastError
end;
Bah... its seems that both examples aren't answer to my question...
Ok... the problem is more complicated than i thought anyway...
First of all i want my application to run as other user by double-clicking on executable of my application. For example im on Administrator account, double click on my application executable and its being run as OtherUser ... so everything would be from other user - IE settings, Cache Directory, Cookies Directory etc etc... But... my application has MadExcept in itself and on exception it restarts itself... So after restart it appears that it was run by this OtherUser that cant set any privilages because its normal user (not administrator). Hope you understand what the problem is... any suggestions on how to do that?

Sorry, i don't know how to do that. THere is source for making "SUser.exe" a commandline to start your app, or you could always tell your app to start itself again
e.g. your app starts, it knows it does not have anough access rights, so it doesthhe createprocess with the correct rights, running the same exe again, then the 1st instance closes.
the 2nd instance runs, sees it has enough access rights, and continues
declare it as
function CreateProcessWithLogonW(lp
dwLogonFlags:dword; lpApplicationName : LPCWSTR; lpCommandLine: LPWSTR; dwCreateionFlags:dword;
lpEnvironment:Pointer; lpCurrentDirectory: LPCWSTR; const lpstartupinfo:tstartupinfo
var lpProcessInfo:TProcessInfo

You need to use "ImpersonateUser"
take a look at this question
http://www.experts-exchang
I think your user needs some privileges set up
I can't quite recall if you need
"Act as part of the operating system" - SeTcbPrivilege
"Increase quotas" - SeIncreaseQuota
"Replace a process level token" - SeAssignPrimaryToken
or any of them in fact, been so long since I had to do this sort of thing :-)
