Default Run Outlook once in elevated mode

We have Outlook 2003 SP3 in our office and all users are non-admins. A
particular program istalled by MSI injects a form to add menu options in
Outlook and this needs to be initiated on first run or it won't work.

How can we launch Outlook once with elevated priviledges so the form gets
added correctly? Preferable programatically or in the background.

Thanks in advance,
Stefan

The application needs to do that under the current user context? I'd call
that flawed to begin with. There shouldn't be any need for this.
Things like this should be taken care of during the installation. All else
should be loaded in the typical locations accessible by end-users.

Anyway, take a look at the Run As command.
