This seems the best forum I could find to post this question. I'm deploying an application that creates a task to be run. While I'd like to be able to use the localuser in the task definition, I cannot due to the fact that the setup app I use is elevated to admin and thus asking for the current user returns the system admin, not the local user in this case a standard user. So, I went out to the OS and created a task under the admin and in the general tab, selected the the group USERS. I then logged into the user with standard (non admin) rights and tried to run the task and got a permission denied. Via my setup, I gave the standard user rights to read and write to the folder that I am using yet this seems to be an issue with task secuirty. Is there any way to create a task that a user can run?

Here are a few link that will explain how UAC's work (http://blogs.msdn.com/uac/). HTH. *link from other resources previously listed under User Account Control (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/security/uac.mspx) One way to solve your problem is that you need to create server Helper application.
