Declare Function OpenThreadToken Lib "Advapi32" (ByVal ThreadHandle As Long, ByVal DesiredAccess As Long, ByVal OpenAsSelf As Long, TokenHandle As Long) As Long

Parameters:

* ThreadHandle [in] Handle to the thread whose access token is opened. * DesiredAccess [in] Specifies an access mask that specifies the requested types of access to the access token. These requested access types are reconciled against the token's discretionary access-control list (DACL) to determine which accesses are granted or denied.

If this parameter is FALSE, the access check is performed using the security context for the calling thread. If the thread is impersonating a client, this security context can be that of a client process. If this parameter is TRUE, the access check is made using the security context of the process for the calling thread. * TokenHandle [out] Pointer to a variable that receives a handle the newly opened access token.
