#AUTOCAD 2005 WORKS ON WINDOWS 10 BUT NOT 2008 PATCH#

Is there any shim that can be applied through ACT 5 that would allow CAD or trick it into thinking that its writing to the BUILT_IN admin account? Or a shim that would effectively turn off UAC on a per program basis? (I'm guessing not since any change to UAC, or admin approval mode specifically, requires a restart.) The standard Run as Administrator check box fixes most problems with the program, in fact the only problem i have beyond those that can be fixed with RunasAdmin is this network one.

Using the SUA many of the errors i get are due to the fact that CAD calls for the BUILT_IN admin account upon launch. This allowed me to start cad normally without the elevation prompt since i was already running an elevated token, but unfortunately this wouldn't allow me to connect to the network share. Now, with UAC on, i killed the explorer.exe process (via taskmanager) opened up a command prompt by right clicking it and running it as admin and then restarted explorer.exe from there, in the hopes that i would get an explorer process which had inherited the elevated token from the command prompt parent. I've established that the program behaves normally and does connect to network shares when UAC (via turning off admin approval mode) is turned off.

UPDATE: I've tried a few things since i posted the above this morning.

I know Autodesk doesn't plan on releasing a patch anytime soon (its nice to have a monopoly in the CAD industry) so i thought i could shim it into working.Р”В¬an anyone help? Or point me in the right direction. I've gone through the standard user analyzer tool, and have tried implementing the mitigations its suggested, but nothing has worked so far. I think its a UAC issue because as soon as i disable admin approval mode i have access to the shares. This is after i've already confirmed that i can see and open all other files on the network shares from standard windows explorer as well as from other programs. Even though i'm in the admin group on my laptop and after right-clicking and checking run as admin in the compatibility tab. (By being physically in the office and plugging myself in via an ethernet cable) For some reason windows explorer can see our office's network shares (after providing the appropriate credentials) and other programs such as photoshop can open files on these network shares, however when i try to open a file on the network from within AutoCAD i'm told i dont have the right to access the network.

The only problem i have arises when i connect my laptop to my company's network. So i got ArchDesktop 2006 to run fine by clicking compatibility and running as administrator.
