Elevates current Hiew process
Requires Administrator (UAC)
INTRODUCTION
When you are normally examining files with Hiew, running Hiew under UAC (User Account Control) is enough, but if you need to modify objects in protected locations like %ProgramFiles%, you need to elevate Hiew process to grant admin permissions. "Elevate" module lets you to elevate current Hiew process to grant admin rights and to modify protected objects.
INSTALLATION
Place Elevate.hem in Hiew Hem folder (usually Hiew\Hem\Elevate).
To set Hem path, add option HemPath to hiew8.ini:
[HiewIni 5.03] HemPath = "C:\Hiew\Hem\" ; Path to folder with Hiew External Modules
To add keyboard shortcut, add to hemkeys.ini in Hem folder:
[HemKeys 7.45] e: Elevate
USAGE
Launch Hiew, press F11 (Hiew External Modules menu), select and run Elevate module. If you added shortcut as described above, you can just press F11, then 'e'.
If you previously opened file in Hiew, new elevated copy of Hiew will be launched with the same file, mode and offset.
REMARKS
Administrator rights are required to elevate Hiew process.
If your account doesn't have administrative rights, new Hiew instance will be launched, but without elevation.
After elevation you can open physical and logical drives as well:
\\.\PhysicalDrive0 \\.\C:
If you executed Hiew without administrative rights ("Couldn't open file"), just press Esc, then open any other (accessible) file, then launch 'Elevate' from Hem menu (F11), then press F9 (Files), Alt+F3 (Devices) and \\.\PhysicalDrive0 will be listed and accessible then.
