Windows Task Manager: How to see elevation status? [duplicate]

Question

How can I tell whether a process is running with administrator permissions?

Windows 7 Task Manager, Processes tab.

When I run a programm, batch ... elevated (run as Administrator), I still see it with my User name "HorstWalter" in the Windows Task Manager.

I'd have expected to see it as user name "Administrator". However, how can I tell the process is running elevated?

@HorstWalter, If you know the answer now, you can just close the question yourself. — soandos, Feb 26, 2012 at 17:55

@HorstWalter Even though appreciated, it would be undeserved credit because it would be copying the answers on the other questions. Please just close the question as a duplicate of the one I supplied. Click the "Close" link at the bottom of your question and mark it as a duplicate. Happy SUing! — Pylsa, Feb 26, 2012 at 18:17

You cannot do this from inside Task Manager. You can however use SysInternal's Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653) program which is effectively Task Manager on steroids.
