Hello all,
I'd like the have a on demand elevation of an filesystem COM object, so I
can delete/rename/create items in the 'Program Fiels' folder.
So far I found some code about running a 'out of process' COM object with
evevated rights (see code below)

You must create the COM object using the COM Elevation Moniker, and the COM
  object needs to be registered to support elevation. See MSDN for more details:

And the problem is...? You use the same CLSID/IID values that you would

    OK, let me reframe the question: what I would like to have is an Interface/ClassID to a default Windows COM object, which can perform 'file system' operation AND be elevated.

There is no such COM object built-in to Windows. You have to write your
      own COM object based on your particular needs.

To bad, but thanks for the info...
        But how does Windows do it itself - regarding the 'explorer.exe' process?
        - I just want the same functionality as it does (copy/past/rename/create etc.)

Explorer is a user-space app like any other. The same rules of elevation
          apply to it. It has a UAC manifest that requests "asInvoker" privileges.
          Which means if the user that is running Explorer has permissions to invoke
          those filesystem operations on a given file, then Explorer will be able to

But when deleting a file in the 'program files' folder, it is elevated.
            Does it use COM at that point or does it just elevate the 'explorer.exe' with some command line parameters?
            Is command line parameters are the way, can someone point me to a page, where I can find these so I can use an elevated 'explorer.exe' to delete/create files/folders inside the 'program files' folder (or any other admin privilege required folder).
            
            

Reopende the question, with the 'explorer.exe' features in mind.

Found the solution:
  {code}
  procedure TestFolderCraeation(sDir: string);
  var
  lFileOp: IFileOperation;

Found answer be searching on 'elevation' and 'IFileOperation' object/interface

I don't deserve all the credit, but thanks. Found most info on this on the internet en commented it so more users can directly comprehend the code ;)
