I am developing a virtual disk driver and its application. They can mount a image file as a drive on WinXP. On Vista, they also can succeed to create a virtual disk but explorer won't show it. I find this is because explorer doesn't run elevated. What should I do in my application to fix this issue. Thanks a lot. Best Regards, Felix

No I have referred other virtual drive softwares and they don't have this issue. I don't know if I need to fix my virtual disk driver or just fix my application. My program woks all fine except that explorer won't show virtual disks. Do you have any recommendation ?

Since it is a device driver, it seems appropriate to ask in the device driver newsgroup. I assume it is easy to find. There is also a kernel programmer newsgroup where technical people can be found but for your device driver I think that device driver newsgroup is more appropriate. Also see osr.com; I think they can be very useful for these things.

You can disable UAC (USER ACCOUNT CONTROL).
