Hi all, just a quickie if I may,

Is there any way to test if the currently logged on user has Administration
privileges (other than coding some hack like trying to assign full access to
a TRegistry object and checking if / why it failed :-)  I have an
application and I only want the config dialog to be accessible to users with
Admin rights.

On another completely different note, I've just written a stub DLL and when
I examine it's EAT I see, in addition to my defined export functions, a
function / method / entry for ___CPPdebugHook.  I can hazard a guess at what
it is, but what exactly does it do and how can I remove it.

Thanks in advance,

Mike Collins
