I developed a rendering plug-in for Microsoft PostScript Driver that run an
executable after a job was printed.

My problem is that the executable run under SYSTEM account but I must run it
in the context of the interactive user.

How can I do?

Thanks for answers

Bye

I've had a quit similar problem. In my case it was also related to OS
versions. Because with XP SP1 my rendering dll of my monotholitic printer
driver run under <SYSTEM> account, compared to XP SP2 where my rendering dll
run under the Logged On user account.

Nevertheless you can switch to the logged on user account through
