Administrator privileges needed?

The application I developed loads a kernel driver. Everything works fine
when running on a Administrator account, but on restricted accounts, it
won’t work. IIRC restricted users cannot load kernel drivers.

In most cases it is a bad thing to have administrator privileges (it breaks
the NT security model) so I need a way to make this application communicate
correctly with my kernel driver, without the need of a administrator-like
account. Any ideas?

The basic idea is that every user should be able to run this application
correctly.

Thank you,
Razvan

Load the driver automatically in System or Automatic class.

Thank you! I managed to solve the problem using your tips.
