Is there a way to identify the Windows command prompt regardless of file name or location?

Don't. Windows has internal means for that. Read up on the policy editor, and/or file access control.

If you're admin and the "user" is not, policy (or simple ACL) will do the job; if the "user" is also an admin, they'll be able to defeat your program fairly easily.

Based on this Stack reply I cannot be sure that ACL will work if the user has a non-NTFS partition. Also, I'm only interested in controlling what goes on in the different desktop and do not want to funk with a user's regular permissions or files. Does this make sense?

I agree with Seva and John: Just don't go down that road, it's evil (and won't work on top of that). – Robin Oct 27 at 17:53 1 So are users admins or not?

If they're not, where would they get a non-NTFS partition from? – Seva Alekseyev Oct 27 at 19:28 More specifically, the built-in solutions are Software Restriction Policy or (in Windows 7) AppLocker. – Harry Johnston Oct 27 at 22:55.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
