Hi All,

I built my image with EWFTray with EWF Ram Reg.

Everything is working correctly except that I noticed under User
account the icon for EWFTray showed as a question mark, instead of the
"No Entry" icon or "little green" icon shown when login as
Administrator account.

Is that how EWFTray suppose to work?

Thank you for any help.

HW.
 
HW,

He question mark icon there means it failed to read the EWF state.
To use EwfMgr API you need admin (or at least power user) privileges.

If it is a problem on your system you can:
- Run the EWFTray under administrator account (use RunAs util)
- Create a service that will launch the EWFTray under Local System account (default) and make sure to use interactive
switch.
- Create your own Tray utility that will show whatever state the EWF is in. With EWF Reg it might be easier to read the
state from registry directly.

The service approach will be the easiest one if you need it to be working for all accounts including very limited ones.
