Here is an update on the "process elevation" issue:

It seems that on systems with UAC disabled (i.e. lowest UAC level in Windows 7) the "TokenIsElevated" property will always return TRUE, even when the process was not elevated explicitly. Therefore it seems better to check the "TokenElevationType" property instead, which AFAIU will return TokenElevationTypeDefault in that particular case. With UAC enabled it will return either TokenElevationTypeLimited (not elevated) or TokenElevationTypeFull (explicitly elevated). So from now on I will simply look at the "TokenElevationType" and raise the warning only in the case of TokenElevationTypeFull.
