Hi,
I made 2 extensions:
- a change to use CreateProcessAsUser. It is triggered by use of "user" in
the parameter.
- a possibility to leave the started job running on parent process exit

I use "Visual C++ 2008 Express edition" to compile the module. Let me know
if there is a problem with other compilers.

The attached archive contains the modified files and a new
sample_as_user.pl. Sample_as_user.pl does exactly the same like sample.pl
as a different user, asks for login information and starts notepad and
regedit on the desktop of the calling process and notepad on a different
desktop.

Currently the restrictions are:
- if the user for the child process has a roaming profile, the module will
not load this profile.
- the USERPROFILE environment variable will be set to a empty string

Bye
Torsten
