Another good one: I can open each of the following from a PowerPro button; they're all in system32; no path is needed.
compmgmt.msc, diskmgmt.msc, eventvwr.msc, gpedit.msc, services.msc, taskschd.msc, wf.msc
Secpol.msc is also in system32, but when I try to open it with no path from a PowerPro button, I get a message box from PowerPro with "secpol.msc" and the ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND message. Secpol.msc starts fine from a command prompt or Win-R (no path, no UAC prompt).
If I specify "c:\windows\system32\secpol.msc" on the PowerPro button I get a UAC prompt (I don't get a UAC prompt if I start secpol.msc by any other means). When I say "Yes" to that prompt, I get a message box:
Microsoft Management Console
MMC cannot open the file C:\windows\sysnative\secpol.msc.
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.
And if that ain't enough ... if, on the PowerPro button, I specify "s:\secpol.msc" (s: is a SUBST'd drive pointing to c:\windows\system32) I get the UAC prompt and after saying "Yes", it works!
